Offering Helpful Support to Help Students Make Their Future Plans Come True
The Sugitani Campus provides career support to students, helping them determine the next steps to take and how to achieve these goals, particularly through employment guidance. Starting around October, the university holds various distinctive guidance events, including opportunities to hear from students who have already received unofficial job offers talking about their experiences seeking employment, opportunities to hear from visiting lecturers about advice on how to improve the communication and reception skills that are key parts of job interviews, opportunities to hear from people who work at companies involved in pharmaceutical manufacture talking about the current state and future of their industry, and more.
In addition, the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences offers everyday individual guidance, where the teachers at each laboratory can talk with the students of their lab, providing guidance for job-hunting and checking in on how their efforts are going.
