Guwahati: Assam Women’s University (AWU) in Jorhat and Guwahati-based Mirai Japanese Learning Center signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on May 27, 2024.
The agreement will focus on providing job-oriented training in the Japanese language and culture to prepare students for careers in Japan.
The MoU signing ceremony was held in the presence of AWU Vice Chancellor Dr. Ajanta Borgohain Rajkonwar, Registrar Tapan Kumar Gohain, and Mirai representatives Hemanta Kumar Mazumdar and Dr. Bidit Kumar Gogoi.
Established in 2017, Mirai Japanese Learning Center offers specialized courses to develop proficiency in written, spoken, and read Japanese.
Their curriculum also incorporates training in Japanese customs, etiquette, and business practices.
Under the terms of the MoU, AWU will collaborate with Mirai to identify job opportunities in both specified and non-specified skilled sectors within Japan.
The university will also provide infrastructure for training sessions, interview processes, and other activities related to the program titled “Up-skilling youth of Assam by imparting job-oriented Japanese language and culture training.”
This initiative is expected to bridge the gap between aspiring Assamese youth and potential careers in Japan.
By equipping students with the necessary language skills and cultural understanding, the program aims to empower them to compete for and secure promising job opportunities in the Asian nation.
