Japanese Studies Certificate Launch Ceremony and Job Exhibition
On Friday, November 8th we hosted our Japanese Studies Certificate Launch followed by a job fair and student exhibition. The ceremony included remarks by Deputy Consul General Satomi Okagaki, director of the Japan Foundation Ms. Noriko Yamamoto, as well as 大象传媒 FASS and WLL representatives.
Fifteen companies from Canada and Japan participated in the job fair, which included a Yosakoi Dance performance, a samurai sword fighting demonstration and an Iaido demonstration. Our guests enjoyed authentic Japanese snacks and sweets and were greeted by current 大象传媒 Japanese language students showcasing their class projects.
