Preparatory Meeting for the International Career Seminar (ICS) 2024 Organized by Utsunomiya University
Dr. Ritter Diaz, the Representative Director of JAPOLAC, participated in an online preparatory meeting for lecturers and students of the International Career Seminar (ICS) organized by Utsunomiya University.
The primary objective of the ICS is to provide students with a comprehensive global perspective to pursue international careers, focusing on essential concepts such as “Globalization” and “Glocalization.” These concepts highlight the increasing importance of global issues within local communities.
The ICS is a three-day seminar conducted in English, covering subjects such as International Business, International Cooperation, Multi-cultural Society and Japan, and Cross-cultural Understanding/Communication. The use of English as the primary medium of instruction offers students a unique opportunity to engage in international discussions with foreign professors, lecturers, and peers, exposing them to international communication.
The seminar features lectures by professors from Utsunomiya University and guest lecturers with extensive global experience in higher education, international business, and other related fields.
In addition to Utsunomiya University, this year’s ICS includes participation from students of Universiti Malaysia, Sarawak, Unimas, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, Royal University of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and Thammasat University of Thailand.
It is worth noting that this is the third year that the Director of JAPOLAC has been invited to deliver a lecture on International Business from the perspective of commercial diplomacy.
