NYK organises maritime student exchange programmes in Japan and the Philippines
THE NYK-TDG Maritime Academy (NTMA) in the Philippines successfully held an international student-exchange programme with maritime schools in Japan during August and October.
The programme was organised as part of the NYK Mirai project. From August 31 to September 10, nine students from the Hiroshima, Yuge, and Oshima colleges of the National Institute of Technology travelled to the Philippines to participate in study and activities at NTMA.
For four days in October ten students from NTMA visited the National Institute of Technology's Yuge College. During the visits, students attended classes and drill training together, interacting with one another in English, and left with greater stimulation and motivation.
The Mirai project consists of a series of activities to nurture greater awareness of maritime affairs and seafaring life among Japan's youth so that they can develop an interest in the maritime industry and consider careers at shipping companies. The project was launched at the end of 2014.
