Hiyoshi India Internship Program 2009
 

We welcome you to the Hiyoshi International Internship Program for Indian students. Hiyoshi has had cordial relationship with India for more than 20 years. Since then, we have accepted more than 50 trainees and interns. Hiyoshi started this Internship Program for the young students in India to give them an opportunity to increase their environmental awareness and knowledge because they will be the next generation. With the environmental technical skills acquired at Hiyoshi they would be able to bring back those skills in India and thereby contribute to improve the Indian Environment. Hiyoshi also wishes to expose them to the Japanese working environment and culture and broaden their experience for their future career. We also hope to have an exchange of technical/business knowledge and language skills.

8. Press release and Comment from past interns

My internship experience in Hiyoshi ( June, 2008)

I was really glad to be selected for the Hiyoshi Indo – Japan International Internship program. This was the first foreign trip and an excellent opportunity for under graduate student like me to work in a different country. I felt that I was really lucky to work with Japanese and learn their technology. I liked the way Japanese approach their work and projects. Whatever be the work, I observed Japanese were really punctual and honest. I learnt to implement their work principles and their way of sorting out problems.

I never had any type of problem in my labs or at home. Hiyoshi provided us all the facilities which we required and we had nothing to complain. Hiyoshi took good care of us. We had regular meeting with our manager and we were able to discuss our feelings, grievances, problems with him open hearted.

Regarding our lab, I have never seen such a well organized, highly sophisticated lab with complete safety features in my life. I was very enthusiastic to work in such kind of labs. Our instructors were really kind, nice and spent most of their time teaching us the technology and other important things we were supposed to know.

I am proud to be associated with Hiyoshi and I’m looking forward in future to work with such a wonderful company. I’m really missing Hiyoshi and the days, which I have spent there.
