Tokiwa University and Applicate Co., Ltd. have signed a cooperative cooperation agreement with the aim of contributing to the development of local communities, such as the development of IT human resources through the implementation of collaborative courses.

 Applicate is a company that develops various solution businesses, product businesses, IT advisory services for small and medium-sized enterprises, etc. centered on software development.Not only is it growing rapidly as an IT company in Ibaraki Prefecture, but it is also actively involved in the promotion and revitalization of the region.

 The signing of this agreement was triggered by the desire of Tokiwa University graduates who work for Applicate to "liven up the community."I sympathized with the offer from Tokiwa University to develop human resources who not only receive information but also send it, and decided to pursue the possibility together.

 Through this collaboration, from April 2022, "ICT Marketing" (Spring Semester), "Business ICT Exercise" (Autumn Semester) for 4nd graders, and "Autumn Semester" for 2rd graders will be included in the elective courses of the Faculty of Policy Management at Keio.
