Zeal Job Fair in Sendai: Connecting Local Talent with Opportunities

On April 21, 2025, the Zeal Communication Co. hosted the group company briefing event 'Zeal Job Fair 2026 in Sendai' at the TKP Sendai Aobado Conference Center. This event aimed to support new graduates on their job-hunting journey, with nine companies participating and 46 students attending.

Background of the Event

The increasing trend of early job hunting has created a challenging environment for students in regional areas like Tohoku. Compared to metropolitan regions, opportunities for students to meet directly with companies are limited, leading to information gaps and difficulties in hiring for local firms.

Many students express a desire to work in their hometowns but are often unfamiliar with the local companies, while businesses highlight the lack of opportunities to connect with potential candidates. This event aims to bridge those gaps, encouraging interactions between local businesses and students who wish to stay in the region for work.

Zeal Communications has previously organized job fairs in cities like Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. This time, they brought their effort to Tohoku, recognizing the importance of facilitating connections in this region, which has historically seen limited direct engagement between students and employers.
