In 2025, two students from the College of Natural Sciences were officially recruited by Sakata Cooperation and are expected to begin working in October 2026. In 2026, Sakata Group will continue to sponsor three internship positions for students and graduate students of the College of Natural Sciences who wish to participate in an internship program at the Cooperation’s headquarters in Japan. Selected candidates will receive full financial support for round-trip airfare and accommodation during the three-week internship program. Upon completion of the internship program, candidates who meet the requirements will have one year to further improve their Japanese language proficiency before officially joining and working at Sakata Group.
