Career Education

Planning a career path after graduation is one of the most difficult, but important missions for students.

Despite its importance, there are not many opportunities for students to deliberately think about their future careers. Some students even start to think about their careers for the first time when they start to hunt for jobs, and many tend to suffer from lack of awareness about possible choices available on various, available career paths.

To solve this issue, we offer career education for 1st and 2nd year undergraduate students who are either anxious and/or clueless about their future careers. Through this career education, we aim to create opportunities for students to sit and think about their own career paths.

So far, we have offered opportunities for students to learn about various career choices by inviting guest speakers from diverse fields to share their experiences regarding their own career development.
