Following the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has jointly with the Cabinet Secretariat, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. We requested economic and industry groups to make maximum management efforts such as prevention.

 According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the spread of the new corona infection has led to a series of cancellations, postponements, and scale reductions of large-scale job hunting and recruitment activities such as company information sessions. With the opportunity lost, the cancellation of job offers from companies affected by the spread of the infection has emerged as a problem.

 The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has already grasped one case of cancellation of a job offer for university students, but is concerned that more companies will consider canceling the job offer due to the sharp decrease in visitors to Japan and the tourism industry that was hit by the self-restraint of events. ..

 In response to this, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, etc. will make every effort to prevent the cancellation of the hiring offer for those who are scheduled to graduate or complete in 2019, and at the same time, due to unavoidable circumstances, the offer will be canceled or the hiring period will be postponed. When doing so, he requested that he respond in good faith to the compensation request from the subject.

 For those who are planning to graduate or complete in 2020, we requested that students be flexible in their recruiting activities so that they can obtain sufficient corporate information, and utilized various communication methods such as extension of the deadline for submission of entry sheets and the Internet.
