The number of university students who took part in internship programs as part of their curriculum totaled 50,430 in the 2006 academic year, topping 50,000 for the first time since the education ministry began keeping records 10 years ago.
The education ministry said Tuesday that 482 universities implemented the on-the-job training program in the year that ended last March, up 35 from the previous year, and about 8,000 more students participated in the program compared with the year before.
The 482 universities account for roughly 66 percent of all universities in Japan.
"The results underline the recent increase in interest among universities in career training," said a ministry official, who added that the uptrend is expected to continue.
