International Exchange/Overseas Program

After obtaining a disaster prevention specialist qualification in a university training course, my desire to deepen my knowledge of disasters and disaster prevention became stronger.Therefore, I went to Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia for a global study and participated in a program on disaster prevention.

What left an impression on me was Mount Merapi, which I visited on the second day.I was impressed by the efforts of the local community to recover from the situation in which buildings and roads were buried in volcanic ash due to the volcanic eruption of this mountain.It was an opportunity to discuss disasters with local students and learn about various values ​​and deepen understanding of diversity.

After graduation, I would like to find a job at a company that has an overseas base, and make use of the experiences I have gained over the past four years, including global studies.

I spent a year as an exchange student at the National Taichung University of Education in Taiwan.When I am in Japan, I only use English in class, so I decided to study abroad because I wanted to improve my English skills by speaking and listening to English on a daily basis. rice field.

The reason I chose National Taichung University of Education as my study abroad destination is because there are not many Japanese students.Other universities I studied abroad had many Japanese students and Japanese departments, so I thought that using English would not suit my purpose of studying abroad.In fact, I met only one Japanese person at the local university during my study abroad, so I think I had more opportunities to be involved in English than at other universities.

The level of content in each class was high, and it was difficult to keep up.However, I feel that I have grown as I have learned a lot in class.National Taichung University of Education has a partner for international students who can't speak Chinese.The partner was very interested in Japan, and we had a lively conversation about travel and other topics.In addition, I played baseball in club activities, and I made more friends.Not everyone can speak English satisfactorily, but they tried hard to convey it, and we had a fun conversation.

Studying abroad will definitely lead to personal growth, and I believe that your language skills will improve dramatically, so I would encourage anyone who is interested to take on the challenge.

Training content
[Main business]
・Program operation check, problem report
・Check according to test specifications

・Programming learning

In the overseas internship, I had a valuable experience of "working at an overseas company".The main practical content is to check whether the programmed software works correctly.

While communicating with the Vietnamese staff, I checked in detail whether there were any problems with the operation.I learned a lot while working at an "IT company" that I had been interested in before participating in the overseas internship.Since I use a computer every day, I felt that I could work smoothly if I knew the basic operations of a computer.

It was my first time abroad and I was nervous and nervous, but it was very easy to spend there and I didn't have any major problems.The employees working there were kind and sometimes went out to eat together after work.
In my free time, I also studied programming.It was very difficult, but I was able to experience things that I could not learn professionally at university, and it broadened my horizons.I thought I would study more in the future.

Training content
・BPO (enter PDF contents into Excel)
・Japanese check of documents
・Check the condition of the real estate room and clean it
・Observation of sales activities
・Translation of Vietnamese documents
・Creation of taxi usage details

I participated because I wanted to change my personality of relying on people right away.At the training site, there were many people who could not understand Japanese, so there were many situations where I could not immediately rely on the people around me.Therefore, I had to think and act by myself in various situations, and I was able to naturally acquire the ability to think and act on my own.Also, by living in a different environment than usual, I was able to reconsider myself.

Before my job hunting got underway, I was glad that I was able to find out what kind of things I was attracted to and what interests me.
This was my first time abroad, and my lack of English proficiency made me anxious before the trip.Since this is an opportunity like this, I would like many people to participate.
