Participants commented: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u30fbMr Kiuchi\u2019s presentation was particularly memorable for highlighting the benefits of actively incorporating opinions after initiating female recruitment, which boosted employee motivation. We would be delighted to hear further updates on how the company evolves as these new hires mature into senior roles.
\u30fbMs Kimura\u2019s presentation contained a wealth of information. While we only heard an overview due to time constraints, we would have appreciated deeper insights into the trends and analyses derived from the interviews.
\u30fbInteracting with a diverse range of individuals broadens one\u2019s horizons and offers many insights.
\u30fbThis was my first time participating, and I found it an immensely rewarding experience, gaining new perspectives and learning. I strongly felt the necessity of initiatives aiming for parity (50:50) by eliminating gender disparities across detailed areas such as faculty\/department, job type, and company size. I intend to apply this to my future activities. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We plan to continue holding these exchange meetings approximately twice a year. We are also seeking individuals who can provide topics for discussion, so please feel free to get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This research views female high school students\u2019 choice between arts and sciences as the \u201cstarting point for career autonomy\u201d and comprehensively examines both structural challenges and psychological factors. Due to gender bias and information disparities, female students currently face difficulties in choosing their paths with intrinsic motivation and a sense of conviction. Therefore, this study explored the potential for decision-making support through the educational application of Management by Belief (MBB) theory, focusing on verbalising \u2018thoughts\u2019 and visualising inner processes. Through qualitative surveys of educators, specialists, and working women, it was revealed that cultivating four foundational competencies\u2014self-understanding, clarification of values, ability to consider options, and decision-making capacity\u2014is indispensable for girls\u2019 autonomous career formation.
