1. Specific Activities
Buddies who are selected for employment will be provided with contact information for the student they are assisting.
We keep in touch with international students even before they arrive in Japan and provide them with information about Japan to help them deepen their understanding of the country beforehand. For students who are not able to live in the Soumei dormitory, we provide assistance in finding off-campus housing, signing a contract (a staff member will be present at the signing of the contract), and opening up infrastructure before and after the student's arrival. We will assist students in opening the infrastructure before and after their arrival, registering as a resident, opening a bank account, and so on.
In addition, the program provides weekly Japanese language study opportunities to support the acquisition of Japanese language skills.
