For International DCs and PDs
I-HoP will provide international doctoral students and postdocs with the special opportunity to meet with Japanese companies that are willing to hire international talent in ENGLISH.
In Japan, most companies require their applicants to have a high level of Japanese language proficiency.
To prepare for job hunting in Japan, the first recommendation is to improve your Japanese language communication skills.
However, some companies do not require Japanese skills during the application step.
I-HoP will invite some of those companies and provide you with the opportunity to meet and talk online with their representatives.
Do not miss this annual opportunity! We look forward to your application.
