Higashi Osaka University Junior College Department of Nursing and Welfare→ Employment at Nursing facility

I decided my career path through personal counseling with my teacher. Even after deciding the school, I am very grateful that the teacher has kindly supported me from how to write the application to the interview practice and the admission procedure after passing the exam. Currently, I was able to get a job at a long-term care facility. The work is challenging but I feel very happy and even more motivated when people appreciate what I did for them.

Takarazuka University of Medical and Health Care　Nursing welfare Program

At HEISEI, there are speech competitions and presentation classes using a computer, so I was able to improve my Japanese. In order to become a caregiver, I entered the Nursing welfare Program at HEISEI’s sister school, Takarazuka Medical University. The location of the school is close to HEISEI, so I didn’t have to change the way to go to school.
