More than 60% of students studying outside of Japan (68.2%) say that they want to “work with more right to make own decisions,” which is much higher than the answer "want to work on assigned tasks" (31.8%). Many students outside of Japan want to be entrusted with more responsibility/decision making even as new graduates because they have faced various obstacles in a foreign environment and have had to solve their own problems.
When asked about where to work, the majority answered "want to work internationally" (70.5%), and about 30% (29.6%) said "want to work in Japan". It can be seen that there are many students who want to play an active role not only in Japan but also globally by making use of their oversea experience.
As for the way of thinking about work, more than 60% (66.7%) answered that "work is a means to make one's dream come true". For them, work is not about building a stable foundation, but about improving skills, gaining more experience, and fulfilling their dreams. This view on work is strongly reflected in the ranking of popular companies.
