Ritsumeikan University offers a wide range of public servant training programs to provide students with support based on their diverse career aspirations and courses of study. In particular, we have been working to provide career support to students who want to become public servants by offering the Ritsumeikan Kasumi Juku program since 2013. Starting from the first year of university, this program cultivates the qualities and mindset required of administrative leaders by way of lectures, discussions, and policy-making workshops led by currently employed career-track national public servants.
In addition, the Extension Center actively supports students who are vying for career-track positions in the national public service by running public servant training courses that boast a high track record of success and providing generous incentive scholarships.
We will continue to provide extensive support in line with our students’ career aspirations as we strive to train the public servants who will be responsible for Japan's future.
