The joint company information session has started!
The session proceeded in a rotational format, dividing the 27 Business Club companies and 170 students into four groups. Each company had approximately 10 minutes to explain their business and communicate with the high school students, after which the students moved to the next company's booth.
Although the time was short, there was active interaction between the high school students and the companies. During the free time at the end of the event, some high school students actively asked questions to companies they were interested in.
High school students were able to attend presentations from up to eight companies. They gave positive feedback such as, "It was fun to learn about many companies," and "This will be useful for my future career path."

Twenty-seven companies supporting the region participated in the joint company information session. Each company devised creative presentations at their booths to convey their business content and the rewards of their work to the high school students. Many initiatives, such as product demonstrations and free talks with employees, were observed, allowing the high school students to concretely envision their future careers. The venue was bustling with energy throughout the event.
The participating high school students prepared for the day by researching the participating companies in advance. It was impressive to see them earnestly visiting each booth and listening intently to the explanations. Their proactive questions and serious perusal of pamphlets showed a strong eagerness and anticipation for taking their first steps into the working world.
We sincerely hope that this joint company information session will be a wonderful opportunity for local high school students to work at companies rooted in the region and that it will greatly contribute to the revitalization of the community in the future.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all the companies and high school students who cooperated in this event.
Additionally, reporters from Ibaraki Shimbun were present at the venue on the day, and their newspaper later featured an article about the ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB's initiatives.
The ANTLERS BUSINESS CLUB will continue to conduct activities aimed at regional and social contribution.
