Self Introduction |
|
I consider myself a person who likes challenges. I have attempted many things in my student years. For my graduation thesis, I chose an area I was originally not good at. I wanted to overcome what I find difficult, instead of running away from them. As a result, I was able to present my work in a conference. After graduating from the university, I plan to keep taking on new challenges, and keep on earning valuable experiences.

Research Topic |
|
My research is on driving support systems for car accidents prevention. More exactly, by installing cameras in the car, we can tell the orientation of the driver’s head. By recording and analyzing these orientations we can identify the general trend as well as detect abnormal conditions, in order to give off appropriate warnings. This way, accidents can be prevented.

Thoughts on having joined the program |
|
Not only have I received support for job seeking, but having attended the Business Japanese Classes, Specialized IT Classes, as well as three months of internship, I have developed a better understanding of Japanese corporate culture, and these allowed me to upgrade my practical skills.

Advice to others who are considering joining this program |
|
To be honest, I don’t recommend this program if you are not firmly determined to work in Japan for a long time. Joining this program has had me bustling with things like research, classes, internship, and job hunting. You have to have quite some willpower and physical strength. On the other hand, the program will definitely make you grow.
If you are prepared to work even on the weekends, please apply for the program and do your best.
