On August 2013, 8 (Thursday), an event for students, "Career Path Seminar for Female Students," hosted by Uminami, was held in Room 1A, Building No. 2, Shinagawa Campus.
It was held on the same day as the Summer Open Campus of the Faculty of Marine Engineering (Etchujima Campus) on July 7, followed by the Summer Open Campus of the Faculty of Marine Science (Shinagawa Campus). It was attended by high school students and their parents.
This time, after graduating from the Faculty of Marine Science, we invited three alumni who are active in society (Mayumi Nonaka from Suntory Holdings Limited, Ms. Miyako Agatsuma from the Voyage Training Institute, and Ms. Yap Minley from the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature). Then, we had a lecture about campus life, experiences of job hunting, current work details, etc.
At the beginning, Ms. Nonaka talked about her current job, her interest in studying at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, her job hunting, and her current job, under the title of "What does it mean for women to work in society?" .Participating students who were looking for a job listened intently to Mr. Nonaka's talk about how he actually used his research activities in his student days to find employment.In addition, I was very envious of the company where the company I am currently working for has a well-developed child-rearing-related system and welfare, and that there are many women around me who work while raising children. rice field.
Next, Mr. Wagatsuma gave a lecture.At university, I was studying a different field from my current job, but I was fascinated by the work on ships during the onboard training, and how I decided to become a navigator. We talked about the circumstances, etc.It seems that the participants were overwhelmed by the story full of action when they find something they like or want to do.I was introduced to the work of a navigator, which was realized in this way, and the flow of a day.It was a lecture that conveyed that he loves marine sports and the sea as a hobby.Finally, I received a passionate message about working in the sea.
The third person, Mr. Yap, talked about his research at university and the work he is currently involved in.After graduating from high school, Mr. Yap studied abroad in Japan and completed a doctoral course at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology. He strongly appealed to the students that "If you want to learn about the sea, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology is a treasure trove."
All three of them are currently active, making use of what they learned at university in their careers.
The second half is a panel discussion.This time, due to the circumstances of the venue, it was changed to a panel discussion format, but the questions from the participants were carefully answered.It was a fun corner full of smiles as they talked about things they couldn't talk about in the lecture.At the end, each of the speakers passionately talked about the appeal of the university, making the seminar a hot one that exceeded the scheduled end time.
