At this event, in addition to reporting the results of corporate visits conducted as a Proof of Concept (PoC) for "STEM GATE"—a program connecting female STEM university students and companies through "empathy"—a panel discussion and networking session featuring young employees from both companies will be held.
*STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. It is gaining attention as a field that fosters the ability to discover and solve social issues, as well as create new value.
## Background of the Event
With internships being positioned as part of recruitment activities starting in fiscal 2025, opportunities for university students to gather information without worrying about being evaluated by companies are decreasing.
