●Student Comments: ・Taking the Career Design course allowed me to gain a new perspective on life-long career development. Until now, I had only thought of “career” in terms of my work history. However, I was able to reflect on how to approach work not merely as a means to earn money, but also as part of building a fulfilling life and designing a meaningful career. I believe that many of the lessons I learned in this course will come back to me at various points throughout my life. ・Although I have learned a lot about theory in my university courses, I rarely had the opportunity to think about how to actually apply those skills. This course provided a valuable opportunity to consider not only the types of positions I might pursue but also the industries in which I might work. ・This course provided a very meaningful experience, as I was able to learn about corporate perspectives and the skills actually required in the workplace in a concrete and practical environment. In particular, receiving direct feedback on our deliverables from representatives of major companies was an extremely valuable experience. I believe that having this knowledge early in my university life will be a significant advantage going forward. ・Through this course, I feel that I have become able to express my opinions more confidently. In the past, I often waited for others to share their ideas first. However, once I mustered the courage to speak up, I found that I could contribute my opinions repeatedly. Although there were many challenges, I believe I have grown as a result. Additionally, this course provided a meaningful opportunity to reflect on how I want to live my life in the future. I am glad that I continued taking the course until the end. Thank you very much. |
