■ Summary

- Under the theme "A Day to Experience 'Working as a Designer'," the event aims to support students aspiring to be designers and creators, and to provide opportunities for them to meet companies hiring new graduate designers.
■ Background
Recently, the demand for design and designers in business has been increasing. According to a 2024 survey* conducted by "ReDesigner," a design talent career support service developed by Goodpatch, over 30% of the 101 responding companies invested more than 100 million yen in their design organizations, realizing the effectiveness of design organization investment in various aspects, from improving product quality to enhancing customer satisfaction, branding, and increasing sales.
Amidst the growing demand and expectations for design from companies, the number of students aspiring to be designers is also increasing. However, information related to designer job hunting is still not widely known as general information, and many students struggle with career planning. Furthermore, for companies wishing to hire new graduate designers, the challenge lies in how to meet aspiring designers and how to make their company and its design work known in a very competitive recruitment market.
In response to this situation, the new graduate designer-focused job hunting support service "ReDesigner for Student" has been holding the career event "Designer Career Jam" since 2023. As a platform where companies and aspiring designers can meet and communicate directly and interactively, it has been supported by both companies and students. Therefore, the 4th iteration of the event has been decided.

Under the theme "A Day to Experience 'Working as a Designer'," it supports students aspiring to be designers and creators, and creates opportunities for them to meet companies hiring new graduate designers. Since its first holding in 2023, many participants have provided positive feedback, such as "There was an atmosphere that could only be felt offline" from students, and "We were able to connect with a diverse range of students that we wouldn't meet at our own events" and "We felt the value unique to face-to-face interaction" from participating companies. This shows that the event has grown in value for both students and companies over the years.
