Lanka Nippon BizTech Institute Strengthens Pathways to a Career in Japan Through Educator Engagement
Lanka Nippon BizTech Institute (LNBTI), Sri Lanka’s first and only Japanese IT university, recently hosted a “Gathering of Gratitude” to honour school principals and teachers for their invaluable contribution to shaping future generations. The event highlighted the critical role educators play in guiding students toward meaningful global opportunities, particularly a career in Japan.
Beyond appreciation, the gathering created space for dialogue on how structured, industry-aligned education can open sustainable international career pathways for Sri Lankan students.
Creating a Clear Career in Japan Through Industry-Aligned Education
As Japan continues to experience a growing demand for skilled IT professionals, Sri Lankan graduates with the right qualifications are increasingly sought after. During the event, LNBTI engaged teachers in discussions on how its Japan-focused academic model prepares students for long-term professional success.
How LNBTI Prepares Students for a Career in Japan
LNBTI outlined how its curriculum—developed in collaboration with Japanese industry partners—goes beyond theory. Students gain practical exposure, professional discipline, and cultural readiness essential for working in Japan’s corporate environment.
This holistic approach ensures graduates are not simply degree holders, but job-ready professionals equipped for a career in Japan’s IT sector.
The Role of Teachers in Guiding Students Toward a Career in Japan
Teachers and principals play a decisive role in shaping students’ academic choices after O/Ls and A/Ls. LNBTI emphasised the importance of early guidance toward degree pathways that lead to real international employment outcomes, rather than uncertain post-graduation prospects.
From School Education to a Career in Japan
Through its foundation programmes and undergraduate degrees, LNBTI offers students a structured journey—from secondary education to a recognised IT degree, and ultimately to employment opportunities in Japan. This clarity helps educators confidently guide students toward a career in Japan with long-term growth potential.
Strengthening Sri Lanka’s Workforce Through Global Career Opportunities
The discussions also highlighted how international careers contribute to national development. Graduates who build successful careers abroad bring back skills, global exposure, and professional standards that strengthen Sri Lanka’s workforce.
A career in Japan, particularly in IT, represents not only personal success but also a strategic contribution to the country’s human capital development.
Recognising Partners Who Support Career Pathways to Japan
The programme included special recognitions for individuals and partners who supported LNBTI throughout its journey toward its inaugural convocation—marking a milestone where education translates directly into professional careers.
Amid the celebrations, the institute observed a minute of silence in remembrance of the victims of Cyclone Ditwah, reflecting LNBTI’s commitment to empathy and social responsibility.
Leadership Vision for Building Sustainable Careers in Japan
The event was graced by LNBTI Chairman Mr. Kazuyuki Ikura and Director Mr. Ravindra Perera, whose presence reinforced the institute’s long-term vision.
Their message was clear: higher education must be outcome-driven, globally relevant, and directly connected to employment—especially for students aspiring to build a career in Japan.
LNBTI’s Commitment to Careers in Japan Through Education
LNBTI continues to position itself as more than a higher education institute. It is a career-focused Japanese IT university, committed to developing Sri Lanka’s skilled workforce and creating reliable pathways to international employment.
By strengthening collaboration with educators, industry partners, and global stakeholders, LNBTI reaffirms its mission to empower students with degrees that lead to real careers in Japan, real opportunities, and lasting global impact.
