The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has established a promotion council to promote paid job-type research internships for doctoral students over a long period of time.Forty-five companies and 45 universities participated in the doctoral program, where there are few opportunities for employment in the private sector and the popularity of students is declining, with the aim of increasing students and improving research capabilities.
According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, companies such as Canon and Softbank, which mainly seek science-related human resources, and national, public and private universities such as the University of Tokyo and Waseda University have joined the promotion council.The secretary is Tokyo Institute of Technology, and the deputy secretary is Hitachi.The secretariat will be located in Acaric, which promotes career support projects specializing in graduate students and researchers.
The Promotion Council will hold the first Steering Committee on the 20th to discuss how to proceed with the business in the second half of 1.The recruitment method shows the human resources required by the company through the system established by the secretariat, students apply, and the recruitment quota etc. will be filled in by the future steering committee.From the end of the year to the beginning of the year, decide on an internship destination and start an internship.
The rate of advancement from the master's program to the doctoral program is 2020% in 9.4. It has almost halved from 2000% in 16.7.Not only are there few opportunities for employment in the private sector, but even if you aim for a research position, you tend to stay in an unstable position with a limited term, so popularity is sluggish.
However, if the doctoral program does not flourish, Japan's research capabilities will continue to stagnate amid intensifying international competition.For this reason, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology was considering a job-type research internship with Keidanren.
