On February 2018, 2, the Japan Association of Private Universities, which consists of the Japan Association of Private Universities (19 Universities) and the Japan Association of Private Universities (407 Universities), is a one-day internship for listed companies and economic organizations. We sent out recommendations for correcting the harmful effects.

 An internship basically gives students various awareness about working through work experience.However, at present, the "one-day internship", which accounts for most of the internships conducted by companies in the job hunting activities of students, is just a work experience, and in reality, only company tours and company information sessions are held.

 Through this one-day internship, there are many cases in which the company is actually in the process of recruitment selection, such as by promoting student entry and enclosing students.Therefore, it is said that the tendency of students to participate as a selection opportunity rather than seeking work experience is increasing year by year.

 The Japan Private University Association has a problem that the current one-day internship is different from the original role of the internship.It is recommended that the original internship and the one-day internship should be clearly separated, such as by changing the name.He also points out that the company information session of the one-day internship held before the lifting of the ban on public relations and the lifting of the ban on selection and the nature of the selection opportunity are contrary to Keidanren's "Guidelines for Recruitment Selection".
