Invitation to the 11th Kuramae Employment Information Exchange (K-meet)

The Tokyo Tech Alumni Association and the Tokyo Tech Student Support Center will hold the 11th “Kuramae Employment Information Exchange “(K-meet).
Approximately 190 companies, ranging from large corporations to ventures, that are actively seeking to hire Tokyo Tech students will be present at the event on Tuesday, March 5th, Wednesday, March 6th, and Thursday, March 7th with each day rotating.
As the job-hunting season approaches, take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet senior employees and human resources personnel from your preferred companies in person. Following the booth exhibition, we will host a student-industry buffet mixer where you can freely converse with company representatives while enjoying complimentary refreshments. This is the first time such an event has been held in many years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This event has been very popular in the past, so please register in advance and join us.

　We have also prepared tools to facilitate your job hunting.
  • Company Contact System (for students to contact companies)
  • Student Contact System (for company to contact students)
The above tools are very effective when you want to directly contact companies you are interested in or when you want to know what kind of companies are interested in you. For more information, please refer to the “Job Hunting Support Tools” section below (Section 4). Please note that there is a deadline for applications to use the “Student Contact System”.

＊As part of the job hunting support, "Kuramae Online Job Hunt Consultation" will be held on Tuesday, February 27th, one week before the K-meet. (For details, please refer to "Kuramae Online Job Hunt Consultation " below.)
