On June 16, our students had the opportunity to visit the Aso College Group in Fukuoka City. Although it was unfortunately a rainy day, the students gathered on time and in high spirits. While some showed signs of nervousness as it was their first time visiting a vocational school, the warm welcome from the staff at Aso College quickly helped them feel at ease.
The main programs we visited included Automotive Technology, Nursing & Welfare, Hotel & Tourism, and IT Business. At each of these departments, students were able to observe real classes and gain insight into future career paths, making this a truly meaningful experience.
◆ Aso College of Automotive Engineering and Technology
In the spacious training facility, reminiscent of an actual auto shop, students witnessed hands-on lessons using engines and vehicles. They were impressed by the scale and quality of the equipment.
At this campus, our students also had the valuable opportunity to hear directly from a graduate of our school who has received a job offer from Toyota in Osaka. He spoke honestly about the challenges of job hunting in Japan, the skills required in the field, and how what he learned at Aso College helped him. His words greatly encouraged our students.
◆ Aso College of Medical Welfare and Childcare
Students observed classes using real welfare equipment such as hospital beds and wheelchairs. Those aiming to work in the welfare field were especially engaged as they watched students learning techniques to support the elderly and people with disabilities.
◆ Aso College of Foreign Languages, Tourism, and Bridal Studies
At this campus, students watched a video message from one of our graduates who is now working as a programmer.
He shared encouraging words, saying, “Don’t think passing the JLPT N2 is impossible—if you work hard, you can definitely achieve it.” These words gave our students, who aim to work in Japan, a great boost of confidence and motivation.
This visit was more than just a tour of facilities—it was a powerful opportunity for students to meet inspiring alumni and take meaningful steps toward their future.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Aso College Group for their warm hospitality despite the rainy weather.
Our school will continue to support each international student in discovering their potential and making confident choices for their future.
