HR development programs

We foster a comfortable work environment for our employees by promoting a variety of HR development programs and work-style reforms.
Nowadays, it is essential to develop global human resources with strong English capability and cross-cultural understanding, not only in the maritime industry but in all businesses.
We provide our employees with various English programs to enhance their English proficiency and offer opportunities for overseas experience.

    Sayaka Wada

    I participated in a short-term overseas programme to study English in Brisbane, Australia for about one month from June 2019.
    At the language school, I worked on strengthening my speaking skills in an environment where we had to follow the rule of speaking “English Only” in the classroom.
    The school accepts students aged 16 and over, so I was able to interact with people from different age groups, such as those who had just graduated from high school and others who were married and had children.
    I was often surprised by the cultural differences between me and my classmates, who came from many different countries, as well as their diverse values. Nonetheless, I enjoyed living abroad for a month.
