Enrission Inc. (Kyoto City, CEO Yusuke Kakimoto), which operates the university-specialized career support cafe 'Shirucafe' nationwide, will open 'Shirucafe Yokohama National University Store' within the campus of Yokohama National University. This opening was realized because our company empathized with Yokohama National University's philosophy of 'Practicality,' 'Innovation,' 'Openness,' 'Internationality,' and 'Diversity,' while being located in an urban space with an exceptionally lush green campus environment. It is also backed by requests from many companies using 'Shirucafe' to open a store at this university.

We will respond to the needs of companies that want to have contact with students who emphasize social issue resolution and practical learning, while providing a place for students to expand their career possibilities.

Following the opening, an opening ceremony will be held on Monday, May 11, 2026. The event will be attended by university officials, participating companies, and the student staff responsible for store operations. After the ceremony, an exchange meeting between university officials and companies and a special session are planned. Members of the press are invited for observation and interview opportunities.

Those who can attend are requested to apply according to the following information by the previous day.

About Shirucafe

'Shirucafe' is a student-only career support cafe operating in and around universities nationwide, including the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Waseda University, and Keio University. It provides a natural meeting place with companies for a wide range of students, including freshmen and sophomores. Inside the store, in addition to providing high-quality drinks, opportunities for interaction between companies and students are created. For companies, it is used as a place for recruitment branding through Meetups (described below), space utilization, and advertising. Furthermore, store operations are handled by student staff, allowing them to gain practical business experience in a safe environment.

Our company is currently promoting store openings within university campuses as a priority measure, contributing to strengthening cooperation with universities and improving student satisfaction. As the recruitment market diversifies, we will continue to support corporate recruitment activities and provide diverse options to students.

About Meetup

'Meetup' is a small-group exchange meeting held daily at 'Shirucafe' where several companies and students discuss various themes freely. At 'Shirucafe,' which is used by approximately 40,000 university and graduate students monthly, approximately 4,600 Meetups are held by companies annually. Since about 60% of the students using the service are freshmen or sophomores, companies can promote recruitment branding while forming a population from an early stage.
