Getting to know our facilities

Career Center (Renovated in April 2021)

The Career Center, renovated in April 2021, is located on the first floor of the Kaede building. The center provides comprehensive support for job hunting even in our “the new normal,” that also includes online interviewing.

<Renovation Details>

Five private booths for holding online interviews, including one barrier-free option.

The main concerns that students have about online job hunting are usually the reliability of their Internet connection and the reality of having classes in person, but having interviews online. To help them adjust to this new normal, we offer students a dedicated place where they can focus on information sessions and company interviews. Additionally, one of the five private booths in this facility is barrier-free, a first of its kind in Japan. This facility allows all students to continue their job hunting completely stress-free.

Laptop Workspaces

All of the semi-circular desks are socially distanced and equipped with power outlets, wireless LAN, and LAN connection ports. Another great benefit of the space, is that the Career Center staff are on hand to answer questions while you’re working.

Our equipment can handle a variety of application formats, including data conversion, A3, and double-sided printing.

A computer station with access to the Tokyo Commerce and Industry Research databases.

You can search for major companies, as well as hidden blue-chip companies that are not listed in the Quarterly Report. You can also find out more about things like clients, and sales to help you in your job search.

Learning Commons

iFloor

The iFloor is a multi-functional, self-learning space for foreign languages (with a particular focus on English) located on the second floor of the Asunaro school building.
The floor is divided into seven different areas by activity like the iLounge where students can improve their language skills through casual conversations with international faculty and international students. Additionally, the Writing Center is where students can receive one-on-one (or small-group) English writing instruction from international faculty, improving their language skills at their own pace.
Student staff is on hand to support communication and activities in the space which has become indispensable, allowing seniors (or senpai) to pass the baton to juniors (or kohai).
