LNBTI Students Begin Internships in Japan Very Soon…

Each year, in collaboration with the Japanese Embedded Systems Technology Association (JASA), LNBTI conducts an embedded software training program that provides outstanding students with internship opportunities. This year, we are proud to announce that four exceptional students have been selected for fully funded internships in Japan, sponsored by member companies of JASA.On September 30th, our students who are planning to visit Japan for internships in IT companies were blessed to receive advice from distinguished staff, including Prof. Ananda Kumara, Vice-Chancellor, and Mr. Ikura Kazuyuki, the Japanese Director, along with key members such as Mr. Sadoi, Head of the Japanese Language Division, just before their departure. They provided invaluable guidance on how to maximize the benefits of the internship program.During their three-month stay in Japan, the selected students will undergo specialized training designed to enhance their skills and experience. We extend our best wishes to these high-achieving students and are confident that they will excel, paving the way for future opportunities for Sri Lankan students in the Japanese internship market.Furthermore, students who perform well during their internships have a strong potential to secure permanent positions with these prestigious companies upon graduation. This initiative not only enhances their educational experience but also strengthens the technological ties between Sri Lanka and Japan. Selection for this fully funded internship in Japanese IT companies serves as a testament to the unique features of the LNBTI Japanese Academic Model.
