JITCO's International Convention was held on Wednesday, October 5th, 2005. The program featured the Japanese Essay Contest Award Ceremony for international trainees and technical interns. Out of 1724 works submitted, 28 passed the strict review process to receive awards. Four won Outstanding Achievement, six won Awards for Excellence, and eighteen submissions were awarded Commendable. The award winners received certificates of cash prizes. The Outstanding Achievement award winners presented their own work. The audience was moved by the candid tales of foreign living experiences whilst in Japan.
