■ Regarding the Launch of On-Site Free Consultations
As part of its "Support Project for Employment and Retention of International Students in Japan," the General Incorporated Association Global Meeting (Headquarters: Tokyo) will begin offering on-site free consultations regarding residence status and Japan-specific job hunting for international students enrolled in universities and graduate schools across Japan, effective April 1, 2026.
■ From Online to In-Person: Expanding the Support System
While we have primarily provided consultation services online, we have decided to launch on-site consultations via university visits in response to the growing demand for face-to-face interaction on campuses in recent years. This initiative aims to build a more accessible and user-friendly consultation system.
■ University Visit-Based Support by Professional Experts
In this initiative, experts with knowledge cultivated through public support projects such as the Foreign Human Resources Support Center (including immigration-specialized administrative scriveners and labor and social security attorneys) will visit universities directly to conduct free consultation sessions for enrolled international students. We will respond flexibly to the circumstances of each university and the needs of the students, providing practical, hands-on support.
■ A Nationwide Network of Approximately 200 Experts
Global Meeting maintains a network of approximately 200 consultation support advisors nationwide (about 170 immigration-specialized administrative scriveners and 30 labor and social security attorneys), who have previously provided free consultations via online channels. By leveraging this network, we will provide detailed, face-to-face support and assign the most suitable experts to each university, thereby realizing a higher-quality support system.
■ Practical Support for Student Employment and Residence
These on-site free consultations aim to help international students studying at Japanese universities deepen their understanding of Japan's unique residence status system and job-hunting processes, facilitating a smoother transition into employment within Japan. We will provide practical support by addressing specific concerns regarding changes in residence status, eligibility for employment, and offering advice on corporate selection.
[Organization Overview]
The General Incorporated Association Global Meeting is an organization composed of immigration-specialized administrative scriveners and labor and social security attorneys nationwide, dedicated to the "employment and retention support of highly skilled foreign professionals."
We believe that in supporting the recruitment and retention of highly skilled foreign professionals, it is essential for immigration-specialized administrative scriveners—who possess expertise in the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act (hereinafter "Immigration Control Act") and handle visa application procedures—to collaborate with labor and social security attorneys—who possess expertise in labor-related laws (hereinafter "Labor Laws") and address corporate human resources and labor issues.
Our association was established in 2020 with the goal of building a consistent support system from recruitment to retention by bridging these specialized fields. Today, we utilize our nationwide network of experts to provide support that spans across universities, companies, and local governments.
