Background of the Event
NIJIN's participation in the SIF2026 event (Visit:
SIF2026) sparked interest among many students in pursuing internships. While some students expressed a desire to apply, others wanted to learn about the working environment and culture before formally entering the application process. In response, NIJIN organized these informal discussion sessions that strip away the formalities of recruitment, allowing for easy dialogue and exploration.
Whether you attended SIF2026 or not, all students are warmly welcomed at these gatherings!
Session Highlights
These meetings are designed as casual discussions rather than formal recruitment events. Current interns from NIJIN will share their firsthand experiences, providing insights into internship roles and the work atmosphere. Attendees can ask questions freely and engage in discussions without any prior preparation.
