Let's challenge our true dreams once again!

Open Campus

OPEN CAMPUS

2026

We promise to provide full support for students who wish to return to higher education.
A vocational school is not just something you can enroll in immediately after graduating from high school.
Anyone over the age of 18, including working adults, part-time workers, university students, and junior college students, can learn even if they have no experience and achieve their dream job.
"I've found my dream," "It's always been my dream," "I want to change my career," "I want to acquire new skills."
Why not study alongside many seniors who have re-entered school for various reasons and turn your passion into a career?

Our school's Department of Nursery and Department of Care Worker have been certified by the government for the "Specialized Practical Education and Training Designated Course," which provides a total of up to 1.28 million yen in funding.
This applies to those who have been employed as an insured person for two years or more. Please contact our school for more details.

Voices of seniors who re-entered

Current students who decided to go back to school

Thanks to the bright atmosphere of the teachers and classmates at school,
I am enjoying my student life every day.

I attended a school for craftsmanship, but through part-time work at an after-school program and volunteering at a free school, I began to think that I wanted to work in a job that involved working with children. I was a little worried because I was going back to school from a completely different field, but thanks to the cheerful atmosphere of my teachers and classmates, I was able to approach my studies and job hunting in a positive way, and I am now enjoying my student life while aiming to obtain a childcare worker qualification.

Returning to school

Current students who enrolled as scholarship students

He decided to go back to school in search of a chance to pursue the career he wanted in the future.
I was able to clearly communicate my aspirations and was accepted as a scholarship student.

The deciding factor for me to go back to school was that I was attracted to the fact that it is a vocational school with strong ties to various companies, and I thought that if I studied again here, it would increase my chances of getting the job I wanted. I also found out that I could apply for a scholarship admission system that would exempt part of the tuition fees, so before enrolling, I participated in an event held at the school and organized my thoughts about wanting to go back to school and the manners I should keep in mind during the interview, before taking the exam and was able to pass the scholarship.

Returning to school

A graduate who achieved his dream by repeating his studies

A word of "thank you" from a user encourages us in our daily work.

My motivation for going back to school was to do a job that would benefit people and acquire a skill. I currently work as a caregiver, mainly helping with excretion, meals, and bathing for the elderly.
I think the most useful thing I learned in the field was the basic concepts of nursing care and how to provide assistance. I think what I learned at school will be useful in my future work.
