Career Support

We assist students in building their career and preparing them for success.

iCLA’s Career Design courses aim to develop students’ abilities to meet the demands of the globalizing world and the current work place where the knowledge of liberal arts, English language competency, communication skill, and the understanding of cultural differences of people and organization are imperative. We provide students with an effective and practical career education expanding in three stages from Career Design 1 to Career Design 3.

These courses encompass the understanding of self, society, and the world of work, abilities, and skills required in the work place. All these skills and knowledge combined together make it possible for students to prepare for job search and career development. With these skills and mindsets, graduates of iCLA are expected to succeed in the global arena.

Career Design 1: Mandatory introductory course. Students can choose either CD1-J or CD1-E according to their language skills, interests, and concerns. CD1-J is suited for students with high Japanese language skills desiring to work in Japan after graduation. This course is available in both Japanese and English.

Career Design 2: Elective intermediate course. The main objective of this course is to learn about Japanese society and what is needed to work in Japan. This course is conducted only in Japanese.

Career Design 3: Elective advanced course. This course focuses on practice and drills for resume writing, tests for academic skill, and job interviews. This course is conducted only in Japanese.

Those who have high Japanese language skills and wish to work in Japan after graduation are recommended to take three of these Japanese courses in succession.
