Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I’m Omatsu from the Operations Management Department, and I’ll be writing this blog post. This time, I’d like to introduce the Aichi International Student Festa 2025, which was held on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at Winc Aichi, near Nagoya Station.
What is the Aichi International Student Festa?
This is an employment support fair organized by Aichi Prefecture specifically for international students. It serves as a valuable opportunity to connect local companies with international students and is held once a year.
Dandelions, Inc. has participated every year since the event’s inception, and this marked our third consecutive appearance.
Impressions from Participating
Each year, we feel that the number of international students attending the event grows, along with their enthusiasm.
This year, in particular, there was a noticeable increase in interest toward fields like IT and digital transformation (DX). Many students showed strong curiosity in our services, including system development, cloud solutions, and low-code development (OutSystems).
At our booth, we provided detailed explanations about our company’s mission, our multinational team structure, and how our non-Japanese staff members have built their careers with us—sharing real-life examples.
For many international students, who have both hopes and concerns about working in Japan, hearing from seniors who began their careers in similar situations seemed very helpful. We received numerous comments such as, “I wanted to hear more because you have many foreign employees” and “Your company looks like a fun place to work.”
A Supportive Environment
The event was well-prepared with interpreters and multilingual support, creating a welcoming environment for students who may not be confident in their Japanese.
For companies, it also provided a great learning opportunity to engage in dialogue that transcends nationality and language. It was an incredibly meaningful experience for us at Dandelions as part of our ongoing efforts toward multicultural understanding.

Summery
Since our founding, Dandelions has worked to create an environment where people can work together across barriers of nationality, language, and culture.
Going forward, we will continue to cherish the connections made through events like this and strengthen our efforts to recruit and develop global-minded talent.
Lastly, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who visited our booth, as well as to all those involved in organizing and running the event.
We look forward to meeting even more people next year!
Stay tuned for our next blog post!
