For Students

Thinking about Working in Japan? Start Early!

1. The “Early Start” Advantage
In Japan, the job-hunting journey typically begins two years before graduation. For Master’s students, this means starting as early as your 1st year. Getting a head start is the secret to success!

2. Japanese Proficiency: Your Key to Success
Being able to speak Japanese is often the most important factor for Japanese companies. The more you practice, the more doors will open for you.

3. Join “THE First Step” Event!
Want to learn the ropes? We host a guidance called “Basic Job Hunting Guidance for International Students” every APRIL and OCTOBER. *This event will be conducted in English.

Let’s Get Started!
Be sure to check this event as soon as you arrive. We’re here to help you navigate your career in Japan together!
