Utilizing online to develop support that is close to each student

　　The second feature was the initiative for the on-campus joint company information session.

　"It is held once a month except in August, but I think that there are quite a few universities that hold it until the last minute of January to March when the 10th graders have graduated. Many XNUMXth graders. Aims to get a job offer by October, but about XNUMX% of the students who got a job offer after that are at our university. In that sense, we would like to continue to provide persistent support until the end. "

　The third feature is the individual employment support that is close to each student.

　"We hold more than XNUMX individual interviews a year. Basically, we do it according to the student's wishes, but by sending an email or postcard from the Career Center, or by making a direct phone call, We are also actively engaged in activities to guide support events and check the status of job hunting. Through these activities, we aim to find out students who have not been able to start job hunting. "

　In 2020, due to the corona disaster, it became difficult to respond face-to-face at the end of March, so we established a system in early April that allows most of the support events that have been conducted face-to-face so far to be carried out online.It seems that the prompt response was successful and the number of interviews was the same as usual.

　Online individual interviews can be booked in advance on the Web, from the appointment of the staff in charge to the selection of the date and time, and are well received by students.It seems that job hunting support such as consultation on troubles in job hunting, correction guidance on entry sheets, and measures for web interviews has been a great help.

　Another thing that was well received by students was the online job hunting counseling session.This initiative, in which career center staff and counselors answer questions in the target third and fourth grades in real time, was held regularly, but it is a big deal for students who are worried about the changes in their lives due to the corona disaster. It seems to be helping.

　In fact, a student who started job hunting in 2020 said, "I had a hard time because the campus was closed, which restricted exchanges between job hunters and made it extremely difficult to share information. I was very worried that I couldn't understand the job hunting situation around me, whether I was working on it.

　In that respect, when I participated in the "Job Hunting Anything Consultation Meeting", I was able to grasp the progress of job hunting from the questions of other students, so it was a great relief. " I did.

What is employment support that looks beyond the corona disaster?

　　In this way, online employment support started to overcome the restrictions of Corona, but it seems that there were also unprecedented merits.For example, students who were reluctant to raise their hands during questions and answers at face-to-face guidance and company information sessions tended to actively ask questions by using the online chat function.
　
　Regarding U-turn employment, there was a part that the Career Center could not fully support students who are returning to their hometowns, but we have seen the result that it can be solved by using online.In addition, the exchange meeting between the students and the alumni association "Aoi Yukai" of Tokyo Keizai University, which has strongly supported job hunting, has been switched to an online counseling session, but the students are more pinpointed. It seems that I was able to approach my seniors.

　　On the other hand, Mr. Saito says that due to the restriction of direct interaction, some students are overwhelmed by uncertain information about job hunting on the Internet and eventually consult with the Career Center.Furthermore, as they become accustomed to online job hunting, which is easy to start, some students are beginning to feel that they are not good at talking face-to-face.

　"In that sense, not only will we enhance our online support, but when it's time to hold face-to-face interview practice sessions and events, look at the post-corona centered on the support activities we had done before the Corona disaster. We must urgently switch to multifaceted support.

　Through the support of the Career Center, I understand the importance of being widely interested in society at an early stage and thinking and acting on my own, and by living a fulfilling university life, as a result, I will be able to engage in job hunting with confidence. think.I will do my utmost to support students so that they can find what they want to do and pursue job hunting that is satisfying.
