HomeG.ecbo internship: Paris office of the Japan Bank for International Cooperation£¨JBIC£©in AY2007
Eight years have passed since I interned at the JBIC. Recently, I¡¯ve been working at the Global Environment Division of the Foreign Ministry as a trainee, dispatched by the International Affairs Bureau of Yokohama City. My specialties are forests and the atmosphere. I often have chances to make national announcements at international conferences. I still cannot believe that I deliver speeches in English as a member of diplomatic mission .

Opportunities in which you take advantage of your internship experience/ what you learned via the program? ¡¡
In the internship program, I had opportunities to make documents and materials for the Paris office and observe schools in the dessert areas of Morocco. Through those experiences, I learned ordinary but essential elements in a job; preparing easy-to-understand materials and providing clear explanations, walking around neighborhoods and communicating with local people, having meals with friends and coworkers in a peaceful¡¡atmosphere. ¡¡I still keep those in mind and try to practice them. What I learned in the internship makes me what I am now. Words cannot express my appreciation to all of those who supported me!
Please describe your seven years at work in one phrase.
I'll say ¡°trial and error".
I may cause trouble because of "errors".
