Outline and objectives

Many foreign students in Japan encounter difficulties in finding jobs in Japan because of their limited information of recruitment, the knowledge of the manner of job-hunting, and language ability. Many foreign workers, on the other hand, are tackling issues related to adapting the corporate culture, building interpersonal relationships at work, and maintaining their work-life-balance. This course will provide the students with opportunities to know the tips of finding suitable jobs in Japan, maintaining the joy of working, and succeeding as foreign workers in Japanese companies through hearing real-life scenarios from practitioners.

Goal

The students are expected to obtain understanding on critical issues faced by foreign employees in Japanese companies, and how these issues are being tackled. The students will be able to effectively blend in with the Japanese community and/or work environments based on the knowledge obtained through this course.

Default language used in class

英語 / English

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )

This course will comprise meaningful talks by practitioners, question and answer sessions, and discussions. The guest speakers will be invited from Japanese companies located in Tokyo and surrounding area, which include both big and small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The students will be assigned to give a presentation as well as to write a term-paper at the ending of the course.
