Job hunting for university students begins in earnest “The trend towards early employment is getting stronger”. Increasingly competitive competition to acquire human resources has forced small and medium-sized enterprises to respond.
76.6% of companies answered that the hiring environment for students who will graduate next spring will be difficult. As of February 1st, 23.9% of university students had “official offers”, an increase from the same period last year. The schedule and rules for job hunting are determined each year through discussions with people from the business world and universities at government meetings.
