Job Guidance
The greater participation of women in public affairs has been remarkable in recent years, and the areas of their activities have been widening. At the University of the Sacred Heart, the number of students seeking jobs upon graduation has been steadily increasing. Because evaluations by employers of our graduates have been favorable in various sectors, the employment situation for our graduates centers round large private corporations and remains good and steady.
What is most important for a student who is applying for a position is to find a job that suits her. In order to do this, it is necessary for the student to understand her abilities, character, and other factors through a thorough self-evaluation and make good use of it when looking for a job.
The University provides job guidance including aptitude tests, various kinds of group guidance, and individual advice.
For third-year students, various guidance sessions are held from July of the third year until April of the fourth year. Programs include aptitude tests, talks of their experiences by those whose jobs are already informally settled, employment information related to the business world, strategic courses for interviews, cultural and general knowledge tests.
In the Employment Data Room, students can quickly access data concerning job vacancies, company brochures, lists of graduates' places of employment, and other information.
Part-time Jobs
Part-time jobs that are judged suitable are presented to students if it is determined that the job will not interfere with studies or endanger health.
Types of jobs include: tutors, teachers at "Jyuku" (preparatory schools which provide courses for the subjects given in entrance examinations), receptionists at international conferences, assistants editors, office workers, etc.
First-year students are introduced to jobs only after the first semester in order to give them time to get acquainted with university life.
