On Friday, July 2023, 7, the “Career Path Seminar for Female Students” was held for the first time in four years at the Etchujima Campus (Etchujima Kaikan 28nd Floor Seminar Room).This is the 14th time this event is aimed at female students who want to learn about the sea and want to work.Every year as an event to invite graduates of the Faculty of Marine Engineering and listen to their storiesOpen campus of the Faculty of Ocean Engineeringis being carried out in Under the theme of "Studying at Ocean University, you can see how you can play an active role in society", the content introduces the reason for entering this university, campus life after admission, job hunting, career after graduation, current job, etc. , This time, the event was held in a hybrid format where the state of the venue was live-streamed online, and there were a large number of participants, including junior high and high school students aiming to enter the University of Marine Science and Technology and their parents, as well as university and graduate students.
This time, it consisted of three parts: senior lectures, introductions of campus life by current students, and question corners.
At the beginning, Mr. Odan talked about the case of a graduate who studied in the Department of Maritime Systems Engineering and worked for a shipping agency.When I was a high school student, I admired the uniforms that I saw working on luxury cruise ships, so I entered this school with the aim of becoming a navigator. He said that he spent a university life, and although he is not currently a navigator, he is very rewarding because he is making use of what he learned at the University of Marine Science and Technology.
Next, Mr. Owada gave a speech titled "For those who are thinking about their future career." He said that since he was a child, he liked making things and wanted to make something bigger. He said that it is important to broaden your horizons without worrying about what you have been hired and what you are interested in, and to make choices that are convincing to you.
Lastly, Mr. Sasaki gave a speech titled "Career path from high school to around XNUMX and a message to all students". He talked about the importance of self-analysis for yourself, such as what you have been hurt, what you like and dislike, what you are good at and not good at.
The participants listened intently to the energetic words of the three speakers, who vividly told their experiences.
Next, three current students took the podium and introduced their campus life at Ocean University, including current classes and practical training, and what they are currently learning and doing.
After this, seniors and students conducted a "question corner" to answer questions and questions from the participants.Not only at the venue but also online participants raised their hands and enthusiastically asked questions about careers after graduation, such as how easy it is for women to work in their current jobs.At the end, six seniors and students gave each of the participants a message, and the meeting ended well after the scheduled time.
In the survey conducted after the event, some high school students wrote that they had made new discoveries about marine engineering. I believe that the seminar proved to be useful not only for maritime jobs, but also for future careers in many other fields.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the undergraduate and graduate students, high school students wishing to study at our university, and their parents who participated in the event despite the intense heat.
