“.Knots” Pitch Event and Kickoff Event Held

On January 14, 2026, Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech) held its first joint career guidance session with Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) at the Tobata Campus.

The event was organized as part of the collaboration between the two universities under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)’s “Multicultural Campus Project Toward Social Impact (SI Project).” The aim is to strengthen cooperation in supporting the career development of international students.

On the day of the event, a professional instructor was invited to provide an overview of the fundamental knowledge required for job hunting in Japan. This was followed by workshop-style discussions on career aptitude assessments and job-hunting schedules, offering international students easy-to-understand guidance on key aspects of building a career in Japan. A total of 26 participants from both universities attended, and many actively engaged with the instructor by asking questions, making the session a valuable learning opportunity for all involved.

Kyutech will continue to promote various initiatives, including career guidance programs, to support the career development of international students.
