 note = {Over the past 40 years, the number of science and technology students in Japan has increased by 10% in undergraduate programs and by 400% in master’s programs. As a result, the number of students continuing to master’s programs from undergraduate programs has changed from one in ten 40 years ago to one in three now. This is because Japan set national graduate institution standards in 1974 and aggressively increased the number of students continuing to science and technology master’s programs, in addition to training researchers, with the purpose of cultivating the skills needed in jobs that require a high level of expertise. How have the circumstances changed regarding these increased science and technology undergraduate and master’s students finding employment? As a general outline of the status of science and technology students finding employment, we conducted a study on the following three topics: instructor awareness, student characteristics, and recruiting activities. We found that science and technology instructors are aware of the need to change their educational aims from specialized academic skills to the acquisition of problem-solving abilities sought by society, but the closing of departments and laboratories in response to reform is an inhibiting factor. Furthermore, the rising importance of research papers for assessing instructors suggests the likelihood that there is pressure on instructors to spend less time on students. Science and technology students enter university with the goal of doing research and spend long hours on it, but are slow to participate in club activities, feel that they might not be good at communication, and tend to not interact much with instructors. There are worries that their neglect of extracurricular activities and contact with instructors has a negative effect on student life. Regarding the path of science and technology students applying for employment, very few students use recommendations from departments and laboratories, and open recruitment is now the norm. Company recruitment policies emphasize the quality of students, and it was evident that the trend of screening job applicants by spending a great deal of time communicating with them through long interviews and long-term internships is likely to increase. This series of changes concerning finding employment moves more of the responsibility for job hunting to science and technology students. In the future, it will be important to plan for the promotion of self-fulfillment through finding work.},
