Utilizing my FP Technician (Level 3) qualification,
I want to further my career!

Wanting to spend the extra time I have due to the COVID-19 pandemic meaningfully, I enrolled in Soudai Tsukyo, which allows me to study while working. Online learning allows me to study in a way that suits my lifestyle, regardless of time or place. I am also attracted to the discussions I have with alumni who are all highly motivated and come from all over the world. I hope to use my Level 3 Financial Planner qualification to help my colleagues and precious family live richer lives.

As a Japanese language teacher, I can be a bridge to Japan.
I want to contribute to world peace through human resource development!

Inheriting the last wish of his son, who died at the age of 34 while working for a company in Malaysia, to "become a bridge between the world," he entered Soka University College of Education at the age of 66 with the aim of becoming a Japanese language teacher. During his time at the university, he was dispatched to a high school in Indonesia as a Japanese Language Partner of the Japan Foundation, where he gained valuable experience such as supporting Japanese language classes and conveying Japanese culture. In the future, as a Japanese language teacher, he would like to contribute to world peace by devoting himself to nurturing human resources who can become a bridge between Japan and his own country.

*Currently, the Japanese language teacher training course is located in Faculty of Letters.
