TUJ Career Development

Our mission is to provide comprehensive career development services to empower each student to confidently launch their individual careers after university. We hope to begin working with you from your freshman year.

our four key services

Individual Career Counseling

Among the various support services the Career Development Office provides, individual counseling is critical for all the students from freshman to senior. Although important information is provided at seminars and workshops, there is not a single approach to job-hunting that suits everyone. Your career advisor will support you in creating and executing your own job-hunting strategy. 

In individual career counseling, we provide support services to help you:

Start thinking about your job search
Analyze your past experience and achievements
Brainstorm about what you really want to do
Compare employers/industries
Define your list of target employers
Gain an in-depth understanding of your top choices
Look at other possible industries
Schedule your career search
Resolve any issues regarding your job search

Seminars and Workshops

The TUJ Career Development Office holds many useful seminars and workshops that help you get through the unique Japanese system of "shukatsu" (job-hunting). There are certain steps you are required to follow, special preparations you need to do, and information you must know before you contact target employers. We also have seminars that are not specific to Japan and can help you regardless of where you plan to work after graduation.
