Introduction to the Career Advisors
Every week, each of our four career advisors spends a day on duty at the
Ookayama Campus and the Suzukakedai Campus. An appointment system is used
to enable them to talk things through with you carefully.
Advisors provide you with information regarding employment, respond to fundamental questions about employment, give advice on how to do various things, and offer employment counseling.

| Advisor Sachiko Ito 〔Days on Duty〕 Ookayama: Monday Suzukakedai: Wednesday |
I have had various experiences since graduating university: a job as an
engineer after majoring in the humanities; language study overseas; full-time
housewife; career support (seminars, classes and student counseling) at
universities; enrollment at graduate school when I was nearly 40; establishment
of my own company; and consulting on support for university reform. Using my experience in fields outside of the university, I will help you think about what path you should take after graduating. I understand that Tokyo Tech students are very busy with their studies and research. If you are unsure or worried about your future, or if you need information, please seek advice at the Career Guidance Room. I hope I'll be able to help each of you balance leading a fulfilling life studying and conducting research and deciding the right path forward for your happiness. |
| Advisor Toshiko Morishima 〔Days on Duty〕 Ookayama:Tuesday Suzukakedai: Thursday |
Immediately after graduating with a master’s degree in psychology, I started working at a consulting firm that specializes in human resource management and development (HRM and HRD). There, I designed and delivered a number of human resource development programs targeted at a wide range of employee groups including new college hires, middle-class managers, corporate leaders, engineers and sales representatives. My work also involved consulting with client firms on HRM issues. Over the last few years, I, as a university career consultant, met with a total of more than 1,200 students. My goal has always been to help students with their search for productive careers with my experience and knowledge in corporate human resource management. Please let me help you in your search for careers so that you can gain control of your future. |
