Overview of the Zeal Career Expo 2028

On May 18 and 19, 2026, Zeal Communications hosted the 'Zeal Career Expo 2028' at its headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo. This event was specifically designed for students graduating in 2028, aiming to connect them with various companies in a face-to-face format.

The expo witnessed participation from over 100 students with high aspirations, eager to explore internship opportunities and early career selections. The direct interactions allowed students to gain insights into different industries and workplace cultures, enhancing mutual understanding between students and recruiters.

Student Demographics

The event saw a diverse group of students, predominantly from four-year universities. Notably, more than 80% of the participants were actively involved in extracurricular activities, showcasing their leadership, initiative, and teamwork skills. This reinforced the notion that today's students are not only academically competent but also proactive and community-oriented.

Early Job-Hunting Trends

A significant portion, about 70.5%, of participating students indicated they have either not started their job-hunting process or were still in the information-gathering stage without having attended any internships or company presentations. This indicates a promising opportunity for companies seeking to engage with students early in their job search.

Reasons for Participation

Students expressed their motives for attending the expo primarily to collect selection and internship information (36.8%), learn about the job-hunting process (33.8%), and gather diverse industry and company insights (29.4%). This illustrates their proactive approach of seeking information to broaden their perspectives before embarking on their job-hunting journeys.

Post-Event Impressions

Post-event feedback revealed that 55.9% of students found the expo helpful in discovering new industries and companies. Additionally, 33.8% reported an increase in motivation for their job search, and 32.4% deepened their understanding of their preferred industries and job types. Thus, the expo served as both a research platform for students and a valuable opportunity for companies to elevate their brand awareness among prospective candidates.

Context Behind the Event

The backdrop of rising early-stage job-hunting in recent years necessitated this expo. According to government reports, students are increasingly beginning their job-hunting activities well ahead of graduation, leading to an urgent need for effective information exchange between students and companies. Addressing this trend, Zeal Communications organized the event to provide an essential space for students and companies to engage early on and foster understanding.
