Scholarship Students Report on their Summer Internships
Kato-san, The President of the Sendai YMCA International Hotel and Pastry School, is very happy to report the five scholarship students are making good progress.
They finished their internship program this summer and last week, the students and Kato-san visited several luxury hotels in Tokyo to gain insights for their job-hunting activities.
Akane, Reo, Honoka, Aoi, and Yuina present a PowerPoint video about their summer luxury hotel internship program. Kato-san reports their English has improved a bit and some of them comment on how they need to study English further after having customer experiences.
Earlier this year Kato-san shared that Endo-san, TAMF adviser and Taylor bunko bookshelf maker, dedicated their new Taylor Anderson Reading Corner (Taylor bunko). The 33rd Taylor Bunko was dedicated on March 15th when Endo-san presented Kato-san with a voucher for books and the bookshelves. The bunko compliments the English studies standards of the program which are useful in the tourism industry the students will enter.

Many of the students need scholarships to attend the Sendai YMCA International Hotel and Pastry School because of economic hardships, some caused by the 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The Sendai YMCA and TAMF provide these scholarships jointly.
Thank you for the support you have given these students. It is your help which makes it possible for them to pursue their chosen careers.
