A signing ceremony of a career support agreement between KUFS and Ishikawa Prefecture was held on Friday, January 21st. The purpose of the agreement is to promote the “UI-turn” employment of mainly, but not exclusively, students whose hometown is in Ishikawa Prefecture. The conclusion of this agreement will enable KUFS to share information provided by the Ishikawa Prefecture on employer information sessions and internship opportunities at local businesses, and to spread positive aspects of the Prefecture’s local companies and living situations by hosting social events that bring together students and businesses either online or on-campus.

Held on the 2nd floor of Building 8, the signing ceremony was held between Mr. Nagashita, an administrative officer of the prefectural government and Director of the Ishikawa Life and Career Total Support Center, and President Takeshi Matsuda of KUFS.
As they signed the agreement, Mr. Nagashita expressed his excitement, “By concluding this agreement, I look forward to welcoming young talents who have been educated at KUFS to Ishikawa Prefecture and be successful, taking part in the revitalization of our communities.” To which President Matsuda responded, “We very much appreciate this wonderful opportunity. We hope to build a mutually beneficial relationship so that our students can apply their knowledge that they gained at KUFS as “glocal” talents with abilities to contribute to the sustainable development of regional communities.”

Additionally, a memorandum regarding careers and employability support was signed between KUFS and Kagawa Prefecture on Monday, January 24th. Director Takeshi Takemoto of Kagawa Prefecture Osaka Office and Director Naoki Hino of KUFS’s Career Center discussed about strengthening collaborative efforts in the future.
