On 1 November, a group of ten junior high school students from Sannohe Town, Aomori Prefecture, accompanied by their teachers and staff from the town office, visited the CLAIR Sydney office as part of their overseas training programme. In response to their request for insights into working abroad and gaining international experience, we provided a tailored session that included an introduction to our office and presentations by two staff members, who shared their experiences of working internationally and in the public sector overseas.
The students actively engaged with the session, listening intently to the presentations and asking many thoughtful questions, creating a lively and meaningful exchange. Their visit was part of a broader programme that included opportunities to interact with local students at an Australian school and experience homestays, offering them a deeper understanding of life and culture in Australia.
We hope this valuable experience will serve as inspiration for the students as they consider their future careers and personal development.
CLAIR Sydney remains committed to supporting Japanese local governments in their efforts to cultivate a global perspective among students and foster meaningful international exchanges.
