This English conversation lecture is for elementary to intermediate-level students and is a popular program that is simple to join, even if you don’t speak English.
This is an internship-type program aimed at solving problems faced by companies at which Kansai University alumni and alumnae work together. Though these collaborations, dormitory students will have an opportunity to think about their job-hunting and career in the future. You can learn and have new experiences which you cannot experience in ordinary student life because you will cope with the problem actually faced by companies from the company’s point of view.
This is the 5-day workshop trying to solve a variety of SDGs-themed problems with people working in business. First, you will learn about necessary knowledge via lectures.

During the Human Resource Development Programs for dormitory students, it was an invaluable experience that I could interact with working people through lectures and workshops. I could learn about how to participate in discussions, do a brainstorming, and make a presentation through it. Also, I could imagine myself working in society, so I want to take it further into job-hunting in the future.
