European universities and employers need to improve the assistance they provide to foreign graduates looking to work in Japan, according to delegates at a recent two-day conference in London.
Participants of the forum held Nov. 6 and 7 agreed that Japanese studies departments need to broaden the range of skills students acquire so they can meet the needs of Japanese firms.
The gathering of academics, students and human resources staff from across Europe also agreed Japanese employers have to be more sensitive to the needs of overseas graduates in Japan.
