About the Participating International Students
All international students participating in ScholarStark events have passed the selection process for scholarship programs. As such, they possess not only the conversational ability needed for daily life in Japan but also a variety of specialized skills in fields such as informatics, engineering, and accounting.
One of the major goals of ScholarStark events is to connect students with such potential to local and regional small and medium-sized enterprises and to promote regional revitalization through exchange events.
Introduction of a New Internship Program
On the day, we also introduced ScholarStark's new internship program. It is a system that matches students with local small and medium-sized enterprises based on what the students want to learn. Companies interested in leveraging the expertise of international students are welcome to contact us.
Companies That Cooperated with Us
This exchange event was held with the cooperation of Empower&Link Co., Ltd. The company provides employment matching and Japanese language lessons for foreign workers in Japan. The president, Kadoya, actively engaged with the students on the day as well, to which we express our sincere gratitude.
