【For high school and university students】2019 High School and University Collaboration Future Session < September 29 (Sun) Recruitment of participants > the northern venue of Kyoto Prefecture

It is said that with the advent of AI, there will be no jobs that exist in the future.
As society and work styles change, I would like to think about how the interests and concerns of high school and university students are connected to society and how they can be utilized in society, through dialogue with guests, and how they will work in the future.

Why don’t you create new ideas about work and careers that are not just “work ≈ business” by interacting with a variety of high school and university students?
In addition, no matter how society and occupations change, you may be able to realize the need for academic skills that cannot be measured by tests in order to live in the society of the future.

In addition to being an office worker, he also manages a share house. He retired in April 2012 and made a U-turn to Kyoto. Focusing on the “Kyoto Migration Plan,” he has been involved in community-related work such as the utilization of townhouses and the revitalization of shopping streets, the establishment of the NPO fullbloom for career support, an external lecturer for career design classes at universities, and recruitment support and organizational revitalization for companies.
