Quotes from Hinata Miura
“We started by offering classes in specialized fields like electricity, facilities, and air conditioning. But we wanted to do more — make the training more active and engaging. Introducing the MOS certification program inspired our trainees to take ownership of their learning and independently build real-world skills.”
“While speaking Japanese is important for foreign talent working in Japan, the most essential requirement is being able to do the job well. When employees focus on their work, their Japanese naturally improves through daily interactions with their supervisors and colleagues. Our plan is to continue offering training that enhances not only language skills but also overall job performance.”
— Hinata Miura, IT Training Coordinator, Training Department, MJ Technology Co., Ltd.
Trainee Voices
“After taking my MOS Excel certification, I can create and manage documents efficiently. My work speed and accuracy have improved.”
“The training was very practical and helped me apply Excel skills in real work situations. It improved my productivity and confidence in handling data.”
Going Forward
This international recognition reflects the approach ToE carries into every engagement: building systems and programs where people can develop the skills they need independently and sustainably — not as a one-time achievement, but as a foundation for long-term growth.
ToE will continue to deepen partnerships with educational institutions and testing organizations to make structured, certification-based learning accessible to more organizations and workers across Japan.
