[About the OSIP Program]
Through multicultural collaboration, participants enhance their language skills and gain cross-cultural experiences while developing the ability to address social issues from a global perspective.
They also design project proposals to tackle real-world challenges in cooperation with local companies.
In addition, Japanese students support international students who are preparing for employment in Japan by serving as "buddies," assisting them with Japanese language learning, cultural understanding, and business practices.
