*Coordinated by One&Co Intern Wang Lei(National Singapore University Freshman)
At One&Co, we hope to contribute to new possibilities in global business by acting as a bridge between Singapore university students who have an interest in Japanese companies, and Japanese companies that want to understand local needs, culture and values.
There is a significant number of students in Singapore universities who are taking Japanese language modules. At the National University of Singapore alone, there are students studying the advanced-level Business Japanese course. These students have a keen interest in Japan, are proficient in the Japanese language, and may be planning to be an intern at Japanese companies in Singapore or work in Japan in the future.
To start with, students who would want to work in Japanese companies or in Japan have relatively little exposure to hiring companies in Singapore. Often, students have a lower chance of receiving an interview offer or even an email reply when they send out emails to corporates as an individual due to the sheer amount of emails corporates receive on a day-to-day basis.
As such, we have come up with CrossLink, an event that aims to connect the two parties for creative and borderless business. We connect companies that are keen to hire local interns and employees with students. Participants can have the opportunity of connecting with Japanese companies in Singapore through our ideathon and even score an internship or employment offer along the way.
1)Program schedule
①Orientation
Introduction by participating companies. The theme of the ideathon will also be revealed by the companies.
