The “generic skill” concept was introduced for the enhancement of higher education. In turn, the concept of “bachelor’s abilities” was proposed by MEXT in 2008 as a fundamental concept for educational improvement in higher education. A program of “student employability” supported by MEXT was also started in 2010. This program required that students cultivate generic skills and obtain the ability to think about their own career path. In this paper, the relationship between these concepts is discussed. The Faculty of Science and Technology of Gunma University started the “students’ employability” program for first year students. The classes of “career planning” and “career design” were held as part of the program. The effects of the program were evaluated by a questionnaire. From the data of this questionnaire, it was confirmed that the students’ consciousness changed through the class.
