What is GCEXPO? An event where students and companies can connect through “games”
This career event uses "games" as a catalyst to connect students and companies that would otherwise never have met.
Unlike traditional company information sessions, participants can convey their values and passion through games, fostering new connections between companies and students.
This time, ctc is participating as a local partner, and in addition to company information booths, the game booths and stage booths—which were well-received last time—will be back with new and improved features.

- Those who want to leverage their gaming experience and skills in their job search
This event is recommended for students who want to naturally connect with companies that understand their hobbies and cultural interests, as well as those who want their passion for gaming—and the experience they’ve gained from it—to be recognized and valued as a “strength.”
Participation: Recommended for Companies Like These
