Career Development Support

What do you see yourself doing after graduating from university?

University is a period of preparation to enter the workforce and a place where you can broaden your appeal and expand your possibilities. At Sophia University, we believe that every aspect of your student life will lead to your future career; Our faculty and staff fully support you in your various endeavors.

The Three Points of Career Design

Sophia University supports students in building a foundation for entering the workforce in the following three areas so that they can make the most of the abilities and aptitudes they have honed throughout their four years at the University.

Sophia’s foundational approach is to “Develop Yourself and Expand your Possibilities.” The most important aspect of University is to accumulate new challenges and experiences in your daily student life, such as studying, extracurricular activities, studying abroad, part-time jobs, and volunteer activities. Sophia University’s environment allows students to design their future careers from their first year, rather than rushed preparations from the third year.

1. Create Yourself, Expand Your Possibilities

When choosing a career path or occupation, the most important thing is to know yourself well. What skills will you use in society and in what way? What do you want to do and what can you do? Where can you put your skills into practice? We offer programs that will help you think about these questions independently and provide you with the opportunity to take action.

2. Envision your Future Self

A wide range of programs will be held to learn about the nature of work and its rewards, including internships and exchange meetings with alumni. Students will deepen their understanding of the industry and companies, and get an idea of what it is like to work in the world.

3. Taking Action Towards Your Goals

Programs mainly for 3rd and 4th year students that provides a practical guide to prepare for job hunting, including guidance on basic job-hunting matters and preparation for written tests, entry sheets, and interviews.

Career Center Support

The Career Center provides comprehensive support for career development, from information to advice, including various types of guidance and individual counseling for career choices. You can inquire about job offers received by the university, refer to alumni, browse books, and obtain the information you need to find a job.
