Workshop for Women's Global Success in 2014
We encourage you to
come and join
the "Workshop for Women's Global Success," organized by the Global
Human Resource Development Center (Note: Lectures will be given
in Japanese).
What should the Japanese female
students do to achieve global success?
It has been long since the term "globalization" came
to be used in Japanese society. Borders are getting vague as the times
go, the internationalization of economic activities progresses, and
there is a need for global human resources in professional world. We
believe that female students can contribute to these processes, and
thus are required to demonstrate creativity and expertise of their own
fields in their global career development after graduation.
However, female students in Japan are doubly
handicapped. First, the progress of women's participation in the
society has been slow in Japan, while promoting diversity and gender
equality has been emphasized by the government. Additionally,
female-friendly environments in companies are not yet firmly
established. Second, in this difficult situation that nests in Japan,
it may not be easy for women to find role models. In such a society,
what should the Japanese female students wishing to be active in the
global context do? What would they be able to?
These workshops will present speakers in various
fields who can become role models for female students. We hope that
students will be able to receive advice, wisdom, and empowerment from
these speakers.
Everyone is welcome. No prior application necessary. 100 first-come, first-served registration.
Six workshops are scheduled throughout the year.
The current schedules are as follows.
