Daisuke OkutoSan
Graduated from Hyogo Prefectural Taishi High School
I want to help someone in the field of social welfare.
This class was the catalyst that helped me decide on my future path.Taking the class "Social Welfare Assistance Techniques II" in my second year was what inspired me to become a certified social worker. I learned the basics of welfare, specialized terminology, and the process of assessment, and I also had the opportunity to interview people with disabilities, which strengthened my interest in welfare. During the interviews, I would chat to get closer to the people before moving on to the main topic. During the conversation, I would sometimes notice concerns about local transportation, etc. Sometimes the conversation did not go according to the questions I had prepared, and I would have many questions along the way, so I had to be flexible in my response, but I found it interesting to "get to know each person's personality."

Graduated in November 2012Kozaburo KajitaSan
Worked at Ikeda City Board of Education
Graduated from Osaka Prefectural Ikeda Kita High SchoolWe will create a school environment that is comfortable for children and teachers.
That's my job.I belong to the Education Policy Division of the Board of Education, where I provide training for teachers, supervise and comment on research lessons, and develop the Basic Plan for Promoting Education. My main job is to create a school environment that is comfortable for children and teachers. When I was working at an elementary school, the knowledge and experience I gained in special needs education at university was useful. I remember that it was very effective in finding out where children with learning or life challenges were struggling and thinking about how to approach them. In the future, I would like to return to the school and spend time with children while making use of my experience at the Board of Education. The biggest attraction of Kansai International University is that I can take lectures from teachers with a wealth of knowledge and experience. I also feel that it is a great advantage that I can relearn through night classes even after graduation.
