Career Support Training
Supporting students aiming to become
professionals active in the international community
The College of International Relations offers career education courses from the second year onward to support career development based on students' interests and desired career paths.
Global Simulation Gaming (2nd year)
This is a course in which students take on the role of actors (actors in international society: countries, international organizations, etc.) and engage in actual diplomatic negotiations. By thoroughly researching their own actors and engaging in actual diplomatic negotiations, students develop knowledge of international affairs from multiple perspectives and deepen their understanding of the real international society.
Through group simulation activities, students naturally acquire communication skills, the ability to identify problems on their own, and the ability to take action to solve them, such as team management and the difficulty of negotiating against the backdrop of each actor's national interests.
Professional Workshop (2nd year)
This course is designed for international students and Japanese students with the necessary English skills who are interested in pursuing careers in the United Nations or other international organizations.Through a combination of lectures, guest speakers, group discussions, and presentations, students will explore the realities of working in international organizations. Guest speakers from various UN agencies and related fields will share their career paths, work experiences, and practical insights, enabling students to reflect on their own values, strengths, and professional aspirations, as well as why they wish to work for international organizations and whom they wish to serve. The course will also introduce the UN career system and the types of education, skills, and experiences required for these careers, while providing opportunities to develop essential communication and public speaking skills.
