“Maruttoku” project for students in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture

This program is aimed at high school students in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture, who have fewer opportunities to come into contact with “universities” on a daily basis compared to the southern part of the prefecture. By creating an opportunity to hear about the various experiences and thoughts of university students and local working adults, the program aims not only to foster an image of continuing on to higher education, but also to provide an opportunity for students to think about their own futures.

Projects for female students and university students

This initiative aims to provide high school and university students who are about to choose their career paths with an opportunity to hear about the diverse career experiences of women who are actually working in society and to have discussions with them, so that they can understand the reality that work-life balance is more important than men, think about career development from a long-term perspective, and ultimately recognize the need to establish their own awareness of their future path and to have a higher awareness, work ethic, and career outlook as the next
generation of professionals, and use this knowledge to help them choose their future career paths. On the day, nine working adults, three university students, and eleven high school students participated, and after the panel discussion, they split into three groups for group discussions. During the group discussions, groups were changed every 20 minutes so that they could interact with and listen to more working people.

Survey results
<High school and university students>
“It was good to hear stories from women in various professions and hypothetical stories.”
“I was happy to be able to talk about personal matters and it gave me a new perspective.” ”
It was good to hear stories from a different perspective than job hunting.”
“I was able to hear stories that I normally wouldn’t get to hear, and it gave me something to imagine my future in a more realistic way.”
“It was good to be able to talk to students who were also job hunting.”
<Working adults>
“I think we were able to help the students find answers to their worries, and it was fun as it felt like a cross-industry networking event for working adults.”
“They were able to talk more freely to strangers about things they couldn’t talk about with their parents or friends.”
“As a woman myself, I think it was a good opportunity to communicate with the younger generation. It seems that it’s surprisingly difficult for women to have a vision for the future other than as a mother.
” “I think we should hold more and more events like this. There are many different jobs, but I think there is a lot to learn from them even if it’s not the job you are aiming for
.” “This is a very meaningful initiative. We were able to talk openly about our true feelings in a completely unaffiliated relationship, and the students gradually began to consult each other about their own worries, making for good group work. I think the students’ perspectives have broadened as they learn about each other’s goals for advancing to higher education.”
