Japan's First Career Fair for Global Talent, 'LinkedIn Student Career Week 2026 Summer,' Announced

Beyond Technologies Co., Ltd., as a domestic channel partner for the world's largest business network 'LinkedIn,' will host 'LinkedIn Student Career Week 2026 Summer,' a career event for students with global experience, from Monday, July 20 to Saturday, July 25, 2026. The event will be held online, with the final day taking place in person at WeWork Hibiya FORT TOWER in Tokyo.

This event is being held as an additional session this summer following the highly positive reception of a similar event in spring 2026 from both students and companies. Under the concept 'By study abroad alumni, for study abroad alumni,' current international students and company interns with study abroad experience will lead the planning and operation.

**Event Concept — A Global Career Festival to Create the Future** This event aims to help participating students deeply understand themselves, broaden their global career options, connect with global talent, and master the world-standard career tool LinkedIn to maximize their future potential. * **Know Yourself:** Deepen self-understanding and clarify your strengths and core principles in a global career. * **Explore Opportunities:** Master LinkedIn to explore global opportunities. * **Act for the future:** Take a step toward the future in a place where ambitious students and companies can connect and understand each other.

**Background** Our company has been working to eliminate disparities in career choices caused by regional and informational gaps. Our spring and autumn career events have attracted thousands of participants and generated significant buzz. The success of the spring 2026 event led to this summer's launch. We are confident that the matching of young talent with global experience, such as students returning to Japan for the summer, with LinkedIn is at the highest level.
