Voices of seniors who re-entered

We will introduce the real voices of seniors who re-entered the university.

Current students who decided to go back to school

Yoshito Ogawa

Part-time worker → Returning to school

After graduating from high school, I unexpectedly spent a long time away from sports, which made me want to work in a job related to soccer and sports, so I decided to go back to school. At first, I was worried about going to university, but the atmosphere of the school when I attended our open campus and the variety of qualifications available that would lead to the knowledge and skills necessary to become a soccer coach, which is my future dream, were the deciding factors.

Current students who enrolled as scholarship students

Aika Saito

Part-time worker → Returning to school

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, I would have a better chance of getting the job I wanted.
I also learned that I could apply for a scholarship admission system that would exempt me from some of my tuition fees, so before enrolling I participated in an event held at the school to organize my thoughts about my desire to go back to school and the manners I should be aware of during the interview. After that, I took the exam and was accepted as a scholarship student.

Class of 2022
Phoenix Co., Ltd. (San-en NeoPhoenix)

I currently work as a freelancer, coaching the school and youth basketball team "San-en NeoPhoenix," running events, and selling basketball equipment at a sports shop. Because I have a freelance contract, I have a certain amount of freedom in my work and can try various things, such as pursuing my dreams and running my own business.
