“I would like to thank the Cooperative Association of Yomiuri Shimbun for partnering with us in this very laudable program that will pave the way to improve the quality of life of our young professionals,” the governor said.
He added that applicants will be screened thoroughly by the executives of partner-company.
Selected applicants will study basic Japanese language for three months at OISCA Bago Training Center and are expected to go to Japan in April 2023. (PR)
