Tonight!

Feb 16 Career Networking Event in Michigan

Although this event is in Michigan, it doesn't mean the jobs are Michigan-based or that the candidates are looking just for Michigan jobs. So if you are fortunate to travel, please do!

✅ Meet recruiters and representatives from the following companies: Activ8, Dowa THT, HIROTEC AMERICA, Meiden, Quick USA, and THK.

✅ Talk with GLJETAA about The Japan Exchange Teaching Program. Take a pamphlet & some swag, chat about Japan, and ask questions.

✅ Learn about Oakland University's Study Abroad programs. Ask your questions about studying in Japan.

✅ JSD Women's Club will join us to provide attendees with the opportunity to try their hand at shodo (Japanese calligraphy). Grab a brush and try writing Japanese kanji!

Join Oakland University and Great Lakes JETAA for a special talk on “Japan-American Relations and Recruiting and Retaining Talent” by Honorable Consul General Yusuke Shindo. The Consul General is a recognized speaker on U.S. and Japanese relations and culture, and his primary role as a career diplomat is to promote Japanese trade and investment as well as highlight cultural exchanges in the region, including educational programs.

The Career Networking Event, previously known as the GLJETAA Job Fair, will be held immediately following the lecture.  Bring your resume and network with professionals to find your dream career move!
