Aomori Prefecture Governor Shingo Mimura Visits Soka University

    On September 6 (Friday), a group including Aomori Prefecture Governor Shingo Mimura visited Soka University and held talks with Board of Trustees Chair Yasunori Tashiro, President Yoshihisa Baba, and the staff of the Career Center.

    In February of this year, in order to promote UIJ-turn* employment in Aomori Prefecture, an agreement on the promotion of students’ UIJ-turn employment between Aomori Prefecture and Soka University/Soka Women’s College was signed, and initiatives such as supporting the employment of students from Aomori Prefecture, holding job seminars at the university and the provision of related information have begun. Meaningful discussion was held, and the participants confirmed their intent to further strengthen collaboration with Aomori Prefecture.

    During the discussion, Governor Mimura made the following comment: “I would like many students, including students from Aomori Prefecture, to learn about Aomori Prefecture. I would also like to further enhance collaboration through the employment promotion agreement with Soka University so that the students will receive information about companies in Aomori Prefecture and are able to picture a career plan in which they return to and work in Aomori.”

    * “U-turn” refers to employment in one’s hometown. For example, it is when a student who moved to Tokyo for college wants to return to their hometown to live and work.
    * “I-turn” refers to employment outside of one’s hometown. For example, it is when a student graduates from college and wants to work at a local company in a more-rural region regardless of where they are from.
    * “J-turn” refers to employment in a different large or medium-sized city, outside of one’s hometown but close to where they are from.
