At the sendoff, overwhelmed by nostalgia, one of Bui Thi Thu Uyen’s parents said: “When we were informed about her internship in Japan, we felt a bit anxious but at the same time we were so proud to know that Uyen had tried her absolute best to earn this trip. We really hope you can complete the program with flying colors, learn essential skills and become an admirable figure for both our family and your school. There will be many obstacles awaiting you but do remember that you always have our support”.

Meanwhile, family members of Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Phuong Uyen revealed that this Japan internship was only made possible thanks to Phuong Uyen’s hardwork and determination as they tried to cancel the trip at first because of their worry about her safety.

Phuong Uyen’s mother emphasized: “I was concerned yet pleased to hear about her internship in Japan. Phuong Uyen is the child that we protect and love so much, we really hope she will grow and grow after the program”. Phuong Uyen also pointed out that putting her homesickness aside, she felt excited for this new experience. She expected to acquire many useful skills, interact with different cultures and be more mature after the internship.

A vast number of friends and relatives showed up to say goodbye to Vu Thi Thanh Thuy and Le Hoang Kim Ngan as well. Heartwarmingly, Ms. Thanh Thuy’s grandfather came all the way from Hai Duong to Ho Chi Minh City to emotionally support his grandchild. These regards, and guidance from faculty and family members will pose as the strength encouraging students to try their best during the international internship.
 

 
We wish you all a meaningful internship in Japan

The international internship is a fine chance for many students to gain new knowledge, experience cultures and encounter regional dialects. By preparing yourself with these updated resources, your career opportunities will be on the rise.

Nguyen Ngoc Thien Kim and Le Ha Thu, two students from the previous batch of the Japanese internship, shared some of their exotic experiences while working at Tenryukaku Hotel, owned by Giftland Joint Stock Company. Within 2 months, the two had a multitude of unique memories such as working in different positions, trying out delicious cuisine, visiting famous places in Fukushima, being provided with a good dormitory and so on.
