One Career Releases Popular Company Rankings for Job Seekers Graduating in 2028

One Career's Popular Company Rankings for 2028 Graduates

In a significant move aimed at assisting job seekers, One Career, a prominent job support service based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has announced its latest rankings titled 'One Career Popular Company Rankings: Regional Edition (Spring 28 Graduate Report). This ranking targets students expected to graduate in March 2028 and is based on the 'favorites' received on company pages by One Career users.

Since its inception in 2016, the One Career Popular Company Rankings has successfully acted as a mirror reflecting the evolving trends in job hunting and the values of students. It has gained considerable attention from various sectors including corporations, media, and the students themselves. It has become an essential tool through which students gauge their career options, aligning with their aspirations and industry trends.

Previously, the rankings offered a diverse set of perspectives with editions focusing on various themes such as the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University, regional specifics, industry breakdowns, and divisions between sciences and humanities. However, there was a noticeable gap for the subsequent graduating classes, as only the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University edition had been published for 2029 graduates. With the current release targeting the 2028 graduating class, One Career is expanding its offerings by introducing new editions such as regional, industry-specific, and science-focused rankings, thereby shedding light on the intricacies of the job market.

The popularity rankings published for the 2028 graduates cover various regions including:

- Hokkaido and Tohoku
- Kanto (excluding Tokyo)
- Hokuriku and Koshinetsu

- Kyushu and Okinawa

A detailed list of these rankings is available on the official One Career website, reflecting the preferences of nearly 50,000 active users who participated in this survey.
