On June 6, Sophia University and Temple University Japan Campus (TUJ) jointly held an English-only career fair at Yotsuya Campus and about 300 students attended from both universities and beyond.
As one of the selected 13 universities of the internationalization project (Global 30) pursued by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Sophia University enjoys a high ratio of international students and has a long history of conducting English-based degree programs. At TUJ, all classes are taught in English and 60% of the undergraduate student body is non-Japanese. Both institutions are committed to supporting job placements of foreign nationals and Japanese students with global career aspirations, and therefore have worked together to organize this event.

This career fair invited companies that were active in hiring such "global talent" and were expected to draw internationally-minded students from both universities and beyond, creating valuable match-making opportunities for businesses and students.
