The 16^th Annual Japanese Essay Contest Award Ceremony

On October 3, 2008, the award ceremony for the Japanese Essay Contest for International Trainees and Technical Interns was held as a part of the JITCO Convention.

Certificates and prize money were handed to the recipients of the Outstanding Achievements, the Awards of Excellence, and Commendable Works. Four Outstanding Achievement winners presented their essays on stage. The audience was impressed with the confidence of the speakers who entertained with their friendly introductions.

The award ceremony allowed us a glimpse of the trainees' and interns' hard work in training and daily living as demonstrated through the prowess of their Japanese.
