②   online study tour

On the online study tour, students will tour overseas and deepen their understanding of the issues facing that country. During the study tour, while interacting with local people and listening to stories from NGOs working locally, you will think about the problems faced by that country and how to solve them, and learn about problems happening around the world. I will think about it as my own.

③   Overseas on-site training

During the overseas field training, students will actually interact with overseas students who have deepened their friendships through online international exchange. In addition, students will deepen their understanding of the social issues they have been thinking about during their online classes by actually visiting the sites and conducting on-site interviews. In this program, students will work with local peers of the same generation to think about what they can do to address social issues occurring around the world.

At our company, we combine these learning types and provide learning services and support that allow students to achieve their goals using the learning method that is best for them.

 

Finally

Our company provides opportunities to develop the next generation of global human resources using ICT. Additionally, through this program, we are pursuing ways to improve the services we currently provide. With the desire for society as a whole to become conscious of world peace and able to take action, we will work together with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the companies participating in our projects to develop global human resources who can play an active role in the international arena. I will continue to do my best.
