VOICE

Voices of past participants

I was able to understand about the specific duties of the job I was interested in. I was also able to learn how I felt about the job, and how satisfying it was. I also got a first-hand feeling of the atmosphere and values of the company.

Since the number of interns was small, I received attentive support from Hitachi employees. This helped to ease my doubts and worries, allowing me to achieve better results than I expected.

Through a wide range of feedback from employees, I was able to achieve my goals and experience significant personal growth. For example, I got a deep and detailed understanding of the work and experienced a sense of fulfillment from it, and I also got some insight into the abilities I was lacking.

A comprehensive experience of actual work processes gave me a deeper understanding of Hitachi’s strengths and social contribution. It also allowed me to develop business sensibility and decision-making skills in the field.

I was very impressed by the opportunities provided to learn about the operations of not only the department to which the internship was assigned, but also other departments, and by the kindness of the employees in helping me find what I wanted to do.

The opportunity to practice working with data used for actual services was very valuable. I felt that the experience was useful in shaping my career path.
