The Hindu Business Line : Japanese language training for IT professionals

THE Association for Overseas Scholarship (AOTS), Japan, with the active support of Nasscom and STPI, hosted a training programme on Japanese language for Indian IT engineers here.

The training session was held during May-June. The highlight of the closing session was the speeches delivered by the trainees in Japanese language, according to a statement from Nasscom.

Mr Mikio Ujiie, General Manager, AOTS, in a statement said "this programme is being implemented under Industrial Structural Improvement scheme of AOTS with financial support of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan."

AOTS is a non-profit organisation in Japan dedicated for HRD and training in and outside Japan since 1959.

Select Indian IT companies would be leading examples of entering the Japanese market based on this training.

Col S.V. Ramachandran, Regional Director of Nasscom, said "lack of knowledge of Japanese language is a major barrier in establishing business relations with Japan and this initiative is the logical step in addressing this issue."

A select few will get the opportunity to undertake the next session in Yokohama, Japan later this year. AOTS will bear all the expenses related to their stay Japan.
