Internship for 2027 Graduates: 'SBC SPACE SHIP (SSS)'

Behind the achievement of winning first place in multiple categories is the introduction of the completely revamped internship program 'SBC SPACE SHIP (SSS)' for 2027 graduates. The program was redesigned from the previous practical business internship, adopting the theme 'Let's embark on a mission to discover the 'self' you don't know yet,' transforming it into an experiential program incorporating storytelling and immersion. It is designed to allow students to confront their own values and strengths through a process of thinking, dialogue, and challenge.

Main Programs of SSS
・SSTC (SBC SPACE SHIP TRAINING CENTER)
An experiential program held in person across Japan. It supports the formation of a 'personal axis' through teamwork and problem-solving. A key feature is the opportunity for practical learning through dialogue and feedback with on-site employees.
・SBC Planet (Planet MISSION)
A program that deepens understanding of SBC Medical Group's business and the role of concierge positions in the clinic network through role-playing and group work. It is designed to allow participants to experience the attitude of being close to customers and the essence of 'work that brings joy to people.'

Comment from Eri Tanoi, Recruitment Manager, SBC Medical Group Co., Ltd.

At SBC Medical Group, we aim to make recruitment activities not just a place for 'company explanations,' but an opportunity for each student to confront their own values and future vision. Therefore, we have valued being as frank as possible about what kind of work exists, what kind of people work here, and how one can grow. The newly revamped internship 'SBC SPACE SHIP (SSS)' is also designed not to unilaterally impart knowledge and skills, but to be a program where students can feel growth by thinking, challenging, and dialoguing with peers. We believe this result reflects that, in addition to these efforts, the cumulative sincere engagement of each staff member with students has led to this support. We will continue to honestly convey the true nature of SBC Medical Group while cherishing encounters with colleagues who will together support the future of healthcare.
