The Keidanren and the university's council, which discusses how students should be hired, have pointed out that the definition of "internship" is ambiguous. We have compiled a report stating that the evaluation of the company should be utilized in the recruitment activities of companies.
The council, where executives of Keidanren and top executives of universities nationwide discuss how student recruitment activities should be, held a meeting on the 18th and compiled a new report on internships, etc., whose definition is pointed out to be ambiguous. ..
According to this, undergraduate and graduate students of 3 years and 4 years participate in the internship, and after defining short-term ones as "5 days or more" and long-term ones as "2 weeks or more", employee guidance Based on this, it is said that student evaluations should be able to be utilized in corporate recruitment activities only for those who experience practical work in the workplace.
On the other hand, it was agreed that one-day events should be called "open companies" rather than internships, and that work experiences such as university classes and corporate social contribution activities should be regarded as "career education".
Keidanren and others will start working on this report from next year, so we hope to gain the understanding of the government.
Keidanren Chairman Tokura told reporters, "Internships are for students to actually learn what a company's work and society are. We want to make sure that the contents of this report are well known to companies." rice field.
