Message from Teachers
Akira Matsuyama About Business Employment Class
In the Business Employment Class, we study Comprehensive Japanese Language, Business Japanese, and Business IT. In addition to regular Japanese language study, students also have the chance to practice interviews in class and receive individual interviews with employment advisors after class. The program works hard to support students in finding employment, but, in the end, the key to success in finding a job is to “think for yourself and take initiative. ” Let’s all work hard together!
Kotaro Kotake About Job Hunting
We assist our students with their new challenges in Japan through the dual support system of our Career Counseling, which allows students to affirm their values and further explore themselves, and our Career Consulting, which supports students in deciding on career paths through self-analysis.
Message from Alumni
Lee Sung Jae (South Korea) Hoshino Resort Hoshinoya Karuizawa
There was a lot of business Japanese that I didn’t know, so I found the Business Japanese class very helpful. Everyone in the Business Class had the same goal of finding employment in Japan, and this made for a great atmosphere among the students as we all worked hard in our individual job hunting and were able to share information with each other concerning job openings and seminars. It is very important to find a definite goal and endeavor to reach it, and I believe that the shortcut to success in finding employment is to make your own plan and take action to realize that plan.
Valli Alessandro (Italy) Yamaha Motor Co.,Ltd.
I learned about the Toyota Production System during my time in university in Italy and, finding myself interested in the workplace improvement process, decided to look for work in Japan. The things I learned in the manners class of the Business Class proved useful in a number of situations during my job hunting. I applied to around 30 different companies in industries where I thought I could put my expertise to use and was able to receive an offer from Yamaha. I would like all those interested in working in Japan to forget about the barrier of culture and language and not be afraid to make an attempt. I firmly believe that results will follow hard work.
