Program period: From 2 June to 12 July online; 2 August to 10 August 2024 in person.
As with the Global Career Seminar in Canada, in this program students from Kwansei Gakuin University (KGU) and the four Canadian partner universities are placed into groups which are then given specific business problems, offered by representatives from corporations, which they will be expected to analyze and propose solutions for.
This is a great opportunity to build intercultural awareness, gain insight into major corporations and the issues they are tackling, and make international and business connections, particularly for students in non-Business backgrounds, while gaining academic credit.
