The Kyushu Council on Global Human Resources for Industry, a consortium of 300 companies, universities and government agencies in Kyushu overseen by the Kyushu Economic Federation and the Aso College Group, is planning to launch a new project that will use the internet to match international students to local companies. Hoping to provide internship and employment opportunities to international students, the Council will build a homepage where students and member companies can post profiles and self-promotional video clips. The initiative would be one of the first in Japan, and the overarching aim is to make Kyushu a destination for foreign talent. The site could go live as early as fiscal 2015 provided the Council can secure subsidies and other budget funds. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 1/7
