POP UP CAMPUS 2025: A Day of Career Exploration

Event Overview

On August 2, 2025, CourseVALU Inc. will host the highly anticipated POP UP CAMPUS 2025 at iU Information Management & Innovation Professional University in Sumida. This innovative event transforms the university campus into a one-day career experience theme park, providing students the opportunity to engage in immersive career workshops designed in collaboration with leading companies.

Collaborative Workshops: A New Approach to Career Exploration

POP UP CAMPUS 2025 stands out because of its unique structure: enterprises team up with student ambassadors to co-create engaging workshops over a four-month period, commencing in April 2025. This collaborative effort ensures that the content resonates with students, allowing them to explore diverse job roles, all within a fun, theme park-like atmosphere. Each student can choose three workshops from various industries, facilitating a deeper understanding of potential career paths.

Addressing Societal Challenges: Bridging the Internship Gap

In recent years, internships and early exposure programs have become prevalent, yet they often lack real insight into the workings of the companies and roles being presented. Many university students step into the job market unsure of their career aspirations, which often leads to mismatches post-hire. CourseVALU aims to combat this issue by offering a platform for first-year students and beyond to not only learn but also experience various professions through POP UP CAMPUS. After a successful debut last November at Waseda University, this event marks a step toward addressing the challenges students face in career exploration.

Key Features of POP UP CAMPUS 2025

1. Real Experience through Co-Creation: Students develop genuine insights while participating in workshops created with company representatives and fellow students, ensuring engaging and relevant content.
2. Theme Park Concept: With a total of 90 minutes per workshop, students can navigate through a variety of professions as if they're at an amusement park, making learning about careers enjoyable and accessible.
3. University-Centric Approach: This event innovatively utilizes the university campus as a backdrop for practical learning, proposing a new model of industry-academia collaboration that sets itself apart from traditional job fairs.
4. Experience Beyond Knowledge: Workshops are designed by experts in educational engineering who focus on conveying the most appealing aspects of businesses and the intriguing messages they want to communicate to students, greatly enhancing their understanding.
