Receive mentor support from your university
You can indicate your preference for a support mentor in the application form. For example, you can request anything, such as 'the personality of the support mentor,' 'the industry you wanted to apply to when job hunting, the industry/company you got a job offer from,' or 'your strengths/disadvantages in preparing for each selection process.' .
You can also change your support mentor, and we can respond flexibly to your wishes at the time, such as when your desired industry changes. Furthermore, in some cases, it is possible to have contact with a mentor in your desired industry from another university without changing your course.
What you can do with a support mentor.
You can easily consult with talented candidates from a wide range of industries, including general trading companies, consultants, advertising agencies, and major Japanese companies, about job hunting anytime and anywhere using Zoom or LINE.
We will introduce you to the most suitable events and companies based on your interests and desired industry, which we learned through the interview.
For those who want to prepare for selection, this is an event where you can prepare for GD and interviews. For those who have just started job hunting, there are events where you can learn how to proceed with job hunting.
We promise to provide you with the opportunity to take your job hunting one step further, from a completely flat standpoint.

Ms. E.I, Faculty of Economics, University of Tokyo
(Unofficial offer results: key station)
TV station or foreign consulting firm? They were flexible and responsive to unusual job hunting concerns.I had been using Encourage since the early stages of my job search and used the interviews frequently. I had already decided that I wanted to work at a TV station, but I was worried about 'just one TV station,' so I decided to take measures and apply to foreign-capital consulting firms as well. In addition to my main mentor, I was also introduced to a mentor who had experience with TV stations and foreign consultants, and I am glad that I received generous support.
When I was finally deciding between key stations and outside consulting, my mentor helped me find a working person who had made the career move from a key station to outside consulting through his contacts, and by listening to him directly, I was able to make a decision that made sense to me.

Kyoto University Faculty of Economics Female E.I.
(Offers made to: Accenture, Osaka Gas, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Bank of Mitsubishi UFJ)
'My father is a banker, so I should be too...' That was the reason he started job hunting. Interviews broadened his perspective, and he entered the world of finance with a sense of conviction many times greater than at first.Since my father was a banker and I had seen how he worked from his side, I was aiming to become a 'banker' from the beginning, considering my aptitude. My mentor was a woman from another department who had taken megabanks and government-affiliated finance jobs during her job hunting. At the interview, I had only heard about the selection process in the beginning, but she suggested that I broaden my perspective. She gave me opportunities for self-analysis and various options.
As a result, I had a number of options, including foreign consulting, infrastructure, and investment banking, and I was able to hear from many other mentors who had experience taking those courses. We had about five interviews in total. In the end, I still found a job at a bank, but I think my conviction about my career choice was completely different. Ultimately, you can do job hunting on your own, but if you have someone accompany you, you can make your choice with firm 'confidence.'

Hiroshima University Male H.O.
I had planned to job hunt only in the Chugoku region∕Hiroshima Prefecture. Thanks to Encourage, I was able to broaden my job hunting horizons.Since senior students from the same university are assigned as mentors, they are always available for consultation on ES preparation, interviews, self-analysis, and so on. I also felt very reassured because there was no one around me whom I could talk to about how to proceed with job hunting as a regional student.

Mentoring service is a service that is very popular among Encourage members. Therefore, depending on the support situation of each university, it may take a lead time of 'a minimum of 2 days to a maximum of 60 days'. In addition to mentoring services, EnCollege also offers Premier Selection Preparation events hosted by EnCollege, so if you have some time left until support, please take advantage of EnCollege's events as well.
