Not everyone in Japan plans to go on to university and Japanese companies seem happy to give them a place to go.
Japan needs the workers now, not later.
or the fourth year in a row Japan's high school seniors have seen an increase in job offers and for the first time in nine years, more than 80% (81.5%, up 3.6% over last year) have a job waiting for them when they graduate next month. The Japanese school year goes from April to March.
Japan expects to graduate 220,000 high school seniors.
A good business with a good training program can train a kid right out of high school sometimes better than they can be trained in college. Or can they?
In Japan, most think, and rightfully so, that kids in college spend four years getting 'whatever' out of their system before they go into the work force and settle down.
Of course, I believe in college...but my faith is weakening.
It leads me to a question:
Which do you think is better - four years of college, or four years of on the job training at the company you want to work for?
