Investigation of Post-graduation Outcomes of Students in EMI Programs in Higher Education in Japan

该项目的目标是了解百代学生在日本大学的职业抱负和成果。在2022财年，该项目重点关注职业支持专业人员的作用。通过调查、访谈和观察，从大学就业中心工作人员和相关非营利组织和私营部门参与者的代表那里收集数据。结果表明，百代学生面临着相当大的障碍，特别是因为他们的日语水平较低，而且对求职系统缺乏了解。有计划、有重点的职业规划和求职支持广泛适用于日语中等专业的学生，但对于百代来说，支持仍然取决于敬业的个人的临时努力。然而，现在正在出现有效的支持系统。

The project goal is to understand career ambitions and outcomes of EMI students in Japanese universities. In FY2022, the project focused on the role of career support professionals. Data was collected from university career center staff and representatives of relevant NPOs and private sector actors in surveys, interviews, and observations. Results indicate that EMI students face considerable hurdles, especially due to their low Japanese-language proficiency and lack of understanding of the job-hunting system. Planned and focused career-planning and job-hunting support is widely available for Japanese-medium program students but for EMI, support still depends on the ad hoc efforts of dedicated individuals. However, effective support systems are now emerging.
