The second session of the Glocal Human Resource Development Lecture will be held.

"Rediscovering Attractiveness of Mie from a Global Perspective: Seeing, Talking, and Realizing Mie's Strength through the Eyes of the World."

　ICETT will hold the "Glocal Human Resource Development Course" over a total of three sessions, commissioned by Mie Prefecture.

　The Seminar on Developing Glocal Human Resources aims to broaden the international perspectives of young people who are the future of Mie Prefecture and to develop glocal human resources by providing opportunities for young people associated with Mie Prefecture to enhance their international awareness and sensibilities and to open their eyes to the world.

　The second session will consist of a lecture and group work under the theme of "Rediscovering Attractiveness of Mie from a Global Perspective: Seeing, Talking, and Realizing Mie's Strength through the Eyes of the World."

　In the first part of the lecture, a lecturer from Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., a global company in Mie Prefecture with experience working overseas, will introduce their approach to environmental issues, cross-cultural understanding and human resource development, the appeal of Mie Prefecture as felt through working overseas, and the significance and appeal of working for a global company.

　In the second part, we will hold group work sessions with overseas residents who are active in Mie Prefecture. Let's think about and discuss the attractiveness and strengths of Mie Prefecture from the viewpoints of the people from overseas as well as your own, and discover new attractiveness and strengths of Mie Prefecture! (*Group work will be conducted in Japanese.)

　By being exposed to the opinions of experienced lecturers and people from overseas based on their real-life experiences, you will also gain hints for your future career path and career development.
