School Features
Japan Electronics College has pioneered the education of specialists in the field of computer technology, starting numerous departments ahead of other schools (according to internal surveys). The Network Security Technology department has been established for over 30 years, while the CG, animation, and game production departments have been providing specialized technical education for over 40 years. Information Processing (IT, programming, artificial intelligence) technology has been taught for over 50 years, and the Electrical and Electronic Technology department boasts over 70 years of unparalleled educational achievements.
At the core of the long-standing educational expertise accumulated over the years is the foundation of the belief in "training beginners to become professionals." Therefore, the school offers various unique educational methods such as "original teaching materials" created by full-time faculty members to ensure even beginners can deepen their understanding, "industry collaboration projects" to enhance professionalism, and instruction in "social etiquette" necessary for employment in Japan.
The continuous track record of fostering professionals from beginners has earned Japan Electronics College a high level of trust from many Japanese language schools, companies, and organizations.

Messages from senior students and teachers
Li Zhen Nan / China / 2nd-year student in Web Design Department / Received a job offer from bitA Co., Ltd.
It is a school that addresses various issues from employment to life's challenges.
■ Reasons for Enrollment
One of the most important factors in choosing a school is how well the educational content fits the path you aspire to. I participated in many open campus events at various vocational schools, but Japan Electronics' curriculum was the one that best catered to my learning style and interests compared to other schools. Its long history also provided me with a sense of security and trust.
■ Attractions of Japan Electronics
Since enrolling, I've felt that the greatness of Japan Electronics is summed up in two aspects: the enthusiastic guidance of the teachers and the comprehensive career support. The faculty members not only address questions in class but also help tackle various life challenges, fostering our growth as students and providing numerous opportunities for self-improvement.
■ Moments of Growth
In the "Advancement Project" class, we were given real projects from companies (client requests), and I had to handle everything from planning to implementation independently. The four months I spent on the project were a series of trial and error, but it was also a great opportunity to challenge my own skills and ideas. And winning the top prize gave me a great sense of achievement and recognition of my own growth.
■ Job Hunting
Job hunting began with a deep dive into self-analysis alongside my teacher, pinpointing the right companies for me. Their keen insights and experience helped sketch out the ideal career path based on my strengths and interests. Crafting my resume, we reworked my self-promotion and reasons for applying, making my applications shine. Interview prep was another area where their dedication shone through.
■ Work at the Prospective Company
The company I'm joining offers a broad range of IT and web services, and I'll be on board as an engineer. This role perfectly matches my aspiration to work at the forefront of technology. I'm looking forward to starting this exciting new chapter in my career.
