Are you attracted to Japan and want to know more about the country? Are you thinking of utilizing your Japanese ability and acquiring skills that you can only learn in Japan, or even thinking about finding a job in Japan? Are you interested in gaining new and different experience overseas at an early age? There is a Japanese educational institution highly recommended for all of you; it’s “senmon-gakko”, or vocational schools.

There are numerous vocational schools in Japan that systematically teach and train specialists in various fields such as jewelry, timepiece, broadcast technology, computer graphics, web design, game development, animation production, fashion design and so forth. When you become a vocational school student, you will be able to look for a job in Japan. (However, this does not apply to those studying at schools of culinary art, confectionery, bread-making, cosmetology, hairdressing and some other fields.)
Japanese people also enter vocational schools when they want to learn a specific field of technology, learn skills to get a job, or start their own business.

At Tokyo Galaxy Japanese Language School, international students aiming to study in Japanese graduate schools sometimes change their mind and choose to enter vocational schools when they get to know the fact that Japanese vocational schools provide high quality education, and the employment rate of vocational school graduates is very high.
Moreover, Japanese vocational schools teach in small steps from very basic skills, so you don’t have to prepare elsewhere before you start. Vocational school teachers seem to prefer students without any experience, because such students can make a fresh start and that is a better way to acquire solid skills more quickly.

Japanese proficiency and sincerity are the most required abilities for foreign students who wish to study in Japanese vocational schools. You will be able to fully understand and absorb what is being taught in your classes if you master Japanese before entering a vocational school, and you can prepare for employment in Japan with no problem if your Japanese is fluent.
So, those who aim to go on to a vocational school in Japan or work in Japan are developing their Japanese skills first at Tokyo Galaxy Japanese Language School.
We teach reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills in a well-balanced manner. We also have kanji lessons, and our students will be able to improve their Japanese ability to an advanced level before entering Japanese vocational schools.
Apart from studying, Tokyo Galaxy students will also go see the vocational schools that they are interested in applying to. Japanese vocational schools often hold open campus events mostly on weekends. Participating in such events will provide you with insight into the school and information of the school’s facility and curriculum. You can know in advance whether the school and its teaching method is suitable for you.
If you start studying in Japan at Tokyo Galaxy Japanese Language School, you will be able to make proper study of Japanese language, and you can also visit such open campus events to make career decisions with no regrets.

The school year in Japan starts in April, but applications for vocational schools begin around September of the previous year. During that time of the year, Tokyo Galaxy students studying with the aim of entering vocational schools and finding a job will be busy preparing their application forms. Some famous vocational schools may stop accepting applications in September.
Since it is difficult for a foreign student to gather information on Japanese vocational schools and send applications on their own, Tokyo Galaxy Japanese Language School provides help to those planning to go on to vocational schools. Students have their homeroom teachers, and they can also receive guidance from their career counselors. Finding your field of interest and deciding what you want to learn is something that you must do by yourself; but your teachers and counselors will help you to find well-established vocational schools, and they will give you guidance in application and interview procedures.
In addition, Tokyo Galaxy has a variety of classes such as accelerated learning classes, optional subject curriculum, and business Japanese class. You can focus on classes that will help you the most to achieve your goal. For this reason, graduates of Tokyo Galaxy Japanese Language School have earned a high reputation among Japanese vocational schools for their advanced Japanese language skills.

If you want to learn skills, work and live in Japan, why not consider going to a Japanese vocational school? That might be a way to fulfill your dream of living in Japan.
