The Global Career Design Center has been hosting a career event called “HU Coffee Chats (Hiroshima University Coffee Chats)” since October 2024.

In the event, we invite young highly skilled international professionals who are active in Japan after studying at the graduate school or while enrolled as students to provide insights about their experiences with graduate studies, job hunting, and practical work after employment.

Participating students and young researchers learn from the careers of these young highly skilled international professionals—who share similar backgrounds and generations—as the latest role models, while networking with them. This aims to further promote the employment of young highly skilled international professionals in Japan, advance Japan's globalization, and contribute to realizing innovation between Japan and the world.
