Recruit Employment Future Research Institute has released a survey regarding the characteristics of the organization in which 2024 graduates would like to work.

The organizations you want to work for are those that ``aim for stable and reliable business growth,'' ``grow by learning the company's know-how and model,'' and ``have general skills that can be applied to any company to some extent.''
