Global Workforce Development through Business Internship Program

Date: Sunday, September 23rd, 2007 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Kevin Knight, Lecturer, Career Education Center, Kanda University of International Studies

Description:
Given the rapid changes taking place in the world today, students are facing an increasingly competitive environment upon graduation when they enter the global workforce. Kevin's Company was created as an alternative to traditional internship programs in Japan where a student-intern's responsibility and exposure to the English language may be limited or nonexistent. Kevin's Company is the name of a yearlong business internship program offered through the Career Education Center of the Kanda University of International Studies (KUIS) in Chiba, Japan to second and third year undergraduate students. The presenter will describe Kevin's Company and global workforce development, and the participants will discuss the effectiveness of a practical approach to learning English.
