ITANAGAR, Mar 25: A delegation from Job is Well Co Ltd, a Tokyo-based educational and employment services company, visited Arunachal Pradesh University (APU), Pasighat on Wednesday to explore the feasibility of introducing Japanese language teaching at the institution.
The delegation, led by local coordinator Nuyi Yirang, included Kazuki Maekoba, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Academic Officer of Job is Well India, and Mansi Yogesh Naik, CEO and Managing Director of Job is Well India. The team held discussions with APU Registrar Narmi Darang regarding potential collaboration.
During the meeting, the company representatives outlined their organisation’s mission and operations. They highlighted that Job is Well specialises in preparing Indian candidates for employment in Japan’s caregiving sector, offering end-to-end support—from awareness sessions and intensive Japanese language training to exam preparation, workplace readiness, and post-arrival assistance.
The delegation also informed that through its Indian subsidiary, Job is Well India Pvt Ltd, the company has developed an in-house curriculum combining language proficiency, personality development, and training in Japanese workplace culture. The programme is delivered by both local and native Japanese instructors.
Emphasising the potential benefits, the representatives noted that introducing Japanese language education at APU could equip students with valuable professional skills while opening pathways to structured employment opportunities in Japan. They added that the company has already partnered with several institutions across India and views APU as a promising partner for expanding its presence in the Northeast.
Responding positively, Registrar Narmi Darang acknowledged the initiative’s potential to benefit students and enhance the university’s academic profile. However, he clarified that any such programme would require formal approval from the state government and the Education Department.
“If the government grants approval, the university will make every effort to develop and implement Japanese language teaching at APU,” Darang said, reaffirming the institution’s openness to innovative academic collaborations.
He further advised the company to engage with the state authorities to secure the necessary clearances, assuring that the university is ready to collaborate once official sanction is obtained.
The delegation appreciated the Registrar’s constructive response and expressed willingness to pursue the required approvals. They also conveyed readiness to support curriculum development, faculty training, and quality assurance mechanisms if the programme is approved.
Both sides agreed to remain in touch as the proposal progresses through official channels. While the initiative offers APU an opportunity to broaden its academic offerings in line with global employment trends, it would also enable Job is Well to tap talent from the Northeast for international placements.
