BACOLOD City – Twenty-five Negrenses have completed their Basic Japanese Language and Culture course at the Organization for Industrial, Spiritual and Cultural Advancement (OISCA) Training Center in Bago City, Negros Occidental.
Their three-month, live-in, “study now, pay later” training was under the Negros Occidental Scholarship Program (NOSP) Division, in partnership with the OISCA Training Center.
The scholars — the first batch for such course — graduated on Dec. 2.
Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. lauded them for hurdling the rigid training. He believes a bright future awaits them if they adapt well with the Japanese work ethic.
“If there is discipline, if there is hard work, there’s no reason that you will not progress,” stressed the governor.
Marañon conceptualized the scholarship program with the aim of producing skilled, professional Negrenses to work in Japan.
While great opportunities in Japan await Negrenses, there is a need to bridge the gap in language and culture, said NOSP head Karen Dinsay.
Capitol will endorse the 25 graduates to select companies in Japan.
Most of graduates will go to Japan to continue their Japanese language training under a scholarship grant. They are allowed to have part-time work and receive allowances./PN
