Reasons for wanting to participate in internships at selected companies

【Analysis】

In this survey, Nintendo shined as the No. 1 company that 2028 graduate students wanted to participate in summer internships with, followed by leading Japanese IT and technology companies such as Fujitsu, LINE Yahoo, and Sony, which ranked high.

Supporting this ranking result, the most common 'reason for selection' for companies students wished to intern with in the summer was 'Because it is a famous/popular company (58.8%),' indicating that corporate name recognition continues to strongly influence students' motivation.

Analyzing this in conjunction with the result that 'Because my technical skills are likely to improve (44.1%)' ranked second, it became clear that 2028 graduate students possess not only a superficial desire to 'go to a famous company' but also a practical desire for growth, wanting to 'absorb solid technology.'
