Message from the President

Kanazawa Institute of Technology joined the World Association for Cooperative Education (WACE) in 2015, and has been working to enhance human resource development programs in industry-academia collaboration. We are pleased to announce that the 4th International Research Symposium of WACE will be held at our university from August 31, 2022. In this symposium, educators from WACE member countries and institutions that practice coop education will gather at our university to discuss the global standard of coop education, which is now attracting attention in Japan. This is also a valuable opportunity to learn about the actual state of Co-Op education in other countries.

We hope that not only people belonging to companies and educational institutions that are already practicing Co-Op education in Japan and abroad, but also people who want to learn what Co-Op education is and advanced examples of Co-Op education will come to the conference.

I look forward to meeting you in Kanazawa, a historical and cultural city that has flourished as a castle town since the Edo period and is filled with samurai culture and elegant arts and crafts.

President, Kanazawa Institute of Technology
Satoshi Osawa
