IDEM Co., Ltd., which operates a site that supports corporate recruitment activities, conducts a fact-finding survey on career support and job hunting at 270 universities and campuses nationwide.The results of the survey were announced.

 According to the survey, 2015% of universities are working on the "Youth Employment Promotion Law" that has been in force since 66.4, an increase of 2016 points from the 14.5 survey.The most common content of the initiative was "Requesting companies that accept job vacancies to provide detailed employment information" at 77.8%.

 82.0% of universities are promoting job hunting-related activities for parents of students.It was as low as 87.9% at national and public universities, while it was 64.7% at private universities.As for the content of the efforts, "holding guidance for parents" was the most common at 70.2%, followed by "holding individual interviews and consultation meetings for parents" at 56.9%.

 The average number of companies accepting job vacancies for students scheduled to graduate in March 2018 is 3 at private universities and 7499.5 at national and public universities.The overall average was 7243.9 companies, which was much higher than 7433.9 companies in 2016.
In addition, the unofficial rate of students grasped by the university is 2017% for "same level" and 51.3% for "high" as students who graduated in 40.1. Against this background, there was a tendency for companies to expand their hiring.

 In recent years, internships may be a practical means of selection, such as companies guiding students participating in internships to their own new graduate recruitment selection.When asked about their thoughts on internships that lead to such selection, 38.8% of the universities answered "yes" or "somewhat agree", while 61.2% answered "no" or "somewhat disagree". was.In addition, the percentage of opponents at national and public universities was higher than that at private universities, at 76.2%, exceeding three-quarters.

 The reasons for the opposition are that "enclosure before the student's horizons are broadened may lead to mismatches" and "there is an internship for work understanding and industry research, and the process of getting into job hunting based on that experience" It is ideal. In addition, there are differences in the conditions (travel time, venue, etc.) for participating in the internship between rural areas and cities, and the internship for selection guidance is unfair and not desirable.
