It decreased by 10pt from 14.6 years ago.When asked if a local company (including a U-turn destination company) is conducting a webinar or a web interview, the degree of aspiration for that company will increase. The number of respondents was 53.3%, an increase of 13.0pt from the previous year.A similar tendency was seen regardless of whether the student went on to a local or foreign school. In 2020, in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, face-to-face opportunities are limited, and companies that hold webinars are judged to be "providing a place for corporate understanding" and their aspirations are improved. It is speculated that it may have contributed to.
