Employment Situation
Most students in the Master Program of Information Systems Architecture have full-time jobs. In terms of careers, most students are already involved in information systems in one way or another, and they continue to be actively involved in this field after completion of the master’s degree program.
Apart from working students with full-time jobs, half of the students in the Master Program of Innovation for Design and Engineering consist of new graduates from engineering universities and design colleges or graduates of advanced courses at colleges of technology. Most of the students enrolled in the master’s degree program straight from universities and colleges find employment with companies in the manufacturing industry.
In both of these master’s degree programs, there are many businessmen-turned teachers who have abundant work experience in the real business world, and they offer detailed career counseling and guidance to students. The AIIT Alumni Association was formed in 2008 with AIIT’s first graduates, and the Alumni Association provides an opportunity for alumni and incumbent students to deepen interactions with one another.
The employment rate for the entire school is 95.8% as of March 31, 2022.
