testimonials “The company I was working for does IT Consulting businesses, and its name is Global Partner Technology. This internship led me to the real world of Japanese business world. Thanks to the internship, I was exposed to the workaholic side of me, now I know how much time and effort I am willing to put into work. When my boss introduced me to the person in charge of the company’s branch in Singapore, I knew that he recognized my work and my efforts in the 2 months paid off.” Wu Xuejun, Nanyang Technological University, Japan “The internship provides me a completely new working environment, work scope as well as a new living environment and culture. There is always something different and new outside the sphere that we are used to. When we adopt changes and try something we have never tried before, we do not only enhance our experience, but also enrich our life.” Lin Shijun, Nanyang Technological University, Germany
