Many students who completed CAP at Ritsumeikan University selected job types and workplaces where they could demonstrate the abilities they acquired in the joint campus program, such as the airline industry, travel agencies, and tourism. While some graduates initially wanted to find jobs at manufacturers, temporary work agencies, and local government bodies, they became inclined to look for a more international career path involving operations and environments where diverse people from various countries worked so that they could make use of their experience in Joint Campus.
