Kato-san, The President of the Sendai YMCA International Hotel and Pastry School, sends a video report of four of our second year scholarship students. Even though their graduation is not until next March, two have already received job offers, while the remaining two are working hard toward their own goals. Impressively, the two with confirmed job placements will be joining Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo and Hotel Okura—both prestigious establishments. We are very proud that once again, our students have secured positions at such outstanding hotels.
Kato-san explains they are currently in the process of selecting this year's first year scholarship recipients, and we expect to introduce the new scholars in our next report. We have also increased the scholarship amount based on current financial situations.
Akane, Yuin, Honoka, and Reo English skills have improved immensely as they gain experience and interact with foreign visitors. Please enjoy the video:
