Major companies in Japan held job-offer ceremonies for students scheduled to join them in spring 2027, and an increasing number are supporting students’ self-development through study-abroad funding and scholarships until they join. Oji Holdings will provide a monthly scholarship of ¥100,000.
Major companies in Japan gathered students scheduled to join them in spring 2027 for job-offer ceremonies. The job-hunting process is moving earlier each year, and in many cases more than 1 year elapses between receiving a job offer and joining the company.
Companies are seeking to retain students by offering measures to support their self-development before joining, including study-abroad funding, subsidies for qualification costs and monthly scholarships. Osaka Gas launched a program to support the cost of 1 month of short-term study abroad.
Oji Holdings is said to have announced a policy of providing a monthly scholarship of ¥100,000. The article does not provide details of the total amount or eligibility conditions.
