【For High School Teachers】”The 11th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” October 16 (Sat) Call for Participants

The “Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” is a place where people who transcend the boundaries of schools and their founders can share their ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, class improvement, etc., and interact with each other to solve problems.

The 11th meeting will be held as follows.

How should we design the “time for comprehensive inquiry” that has begun to move in the three years of high school?
Based on case reports of the “Comprehensive Inquiry Time” initiative, this will be an opportunity for teachers who have various concerns, such as wanting to create something new or reinventing, to share issues with each other, and to exchange opinions and exchange opinions on “Comprehensive Inquiry Time,” “Making High Schools Attractive,” and “How to Make Schools a Learning Organization.”

We look forward to your active participation.

Psychology of Consumer Behavior: Aiming for “Self-Understanding” to Protect Consumer Interests

A psychological understanding of consumer behavior is an important topic for companies, and methods based on psychological theories are often used in sales promotion activities. This has led to a number of cases in which consumers have a “misunderstanding” regarding the evaluation of products and services, resulting in disadvantages as a result. In this course, we will explain advertising strategies and in-store sales promotion activities based on the theories of psychology and behavioral economics. We want to contribute to consumer protection by promoting objective self-understanding of consumers.

【For High School Teachers】”The 9th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” May 29 (Sat) Call for Participants

　
We are pleased to announce that the 9th Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting will be held as follows.

This year marks the fourth year of the Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting. In order to provide a place for students to share their ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management and class improvement, and to interact with them to solve them, we have held them on themes that meet the needs of high schools. Now that we are entering a “development period” as a collaboration between high schools and universities, we would like to think together, connect with each other, and create plans in order to expand the circle between high schools and universities.

Therefore, this time, we will use this opportunity for high school teachers to commit to planning through frank exchanges and opinions between high school teachers and university faculty members regarding the planning of this year’s exchange event.

In addition, based on the opinions here, we will create a plan for the 10th and 11th exchange meetings. Let’s come up with a plan together.

Recruitment of Companies Accepting Internships for International Students in 2021 (Organizer: International Student Study Kyoto Network)

2021 Internship Recruitment for International Students

International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: University Consortium Kyoto)

Since 2016, the International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: Kyoto International Business Department, University Consortium) has been conducting an internship program for international students living in the Kyoto area. In this internship program, we are looking for companies that can accept international students. We are looking forward to receiving applications from Kyoto companies that are interested in hiring international students in the future.

*For more information on the International Student Study Kyoto Network, please refer to https://www.studykyoto.jp/ja/aboutus/ here.
* Flyer for accepting companies

 

Purpose and Features

This program provides opportunities for international students living in the Kyoto area who are aiming to find employment at Japan companies to deepen their understanding of the business content and attractiveness of companies in the Kyoto area (especially mid-tier enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises) through work experience, and aims to promote their motivation to recruit and find employment through mutual understanding between international students and companies, and to establish international students in the Kyoto area after employment. For host companies, there are various benefits such as revitalizing the company by accepting international students, accumulating experience in accepting foreign employees, and PR to international students. In addition, for international students, understanding the corporate culture and work style in Japan will help them acquire the ability to find employment and play an active role in Japan.

 

Eligible companies

Companies and organizations that have a head office or office in Kyoto Prefecture (in the event of a large number of applications, priority will be given to small and medium-sized enterprises).

* As a general rule, about 40 companies headquartered in the Kyoto area can accept employees at their offices in the Kyoto area.
* We are looking forward to receiving applications from companies that agree with the “Appendix: Ideas that we would like to ask the host companies to agree with”.

* We ask that you consider accepting 1~3 international students per company. If you are not matched with an international student, we do not ask you to accept them unreasonably.

 

Eligible International Students

Students who are enrolled in a school that is a member of the International Student Study Kyoto Network and are scheduled to graduate or complete the course of their school in March 2023. (Those who wish to graduate or complete in March or September 2022 are not excluded.)

* Selection and matching will be conducted by interview.

* Includes those enrolled in vocational schools and those enrolled in Japanese schools who have graduated or completed higher education institutions in their home countries.

Acceptance Criteria

(1) Paid internship

This is a paid internship based on a worker dispatch contract. As a general rule, we ask that you provide work experience opportunities of 80 hours or more.

*International students are allowed to work within the scope of “permission to engage in activities other than those permitted under the status of residence (28 hours per week)” during the class period, but can work up to 40 hours per week during the summer vacation. Please note that the summer vacation period varies depending on the school to which the international student belongs, so please consult with the coordinator

Company Burden: Dispatch fee (¥1,160 per hour), Student transportation fee (up to ¥1,000 per day) * Once the dispatched international student is confirmed, a worker dispatch contract will be concluded with the management contractor (dispatch company) of this program. As a result, various procedures such as social insurance are not required at the host company, and the procedures are extremely simple compared to direct employment by the host company.

(2) Unpaid internship

This is a project implemented as an agreement-type internship in which the host company and the International Student Study Kyoto Network Secretariat conclude an agreement regarding the acceptance of internships. During the implementation period, we ask that you provide work experience opportunities for at least 3 days and 40 hours in principle. In addition, we also ask that you set up no more than 30% of the time for the entire program for the purpose of understanding the company and the profession for the purpose of engaging in production activities.
