Introducing FICoE,
Forest Industry Center
of Excellence.
On FICoE
We collaborate with industry partner to develop curriculum that works, and deliver the program as a capstone for bachelor students.
Our students are university-level
The SSW in forestry program attracts top talent by offering compensation on par with Japanese workers. Our approach aligns with this vision, focusing on university graduates to ensure long-term growth and development.
75% of our content are practical
We partner only with universities that share our commitment to providing education that drives employability, career growth, and competitive salaries—ensuring graduates are job-ready foresters.
The Language
Foresters face hazards daily, making clear communication essential. Our curriculum prioritizes language training to eliminate miscommunication and maximize productivity.
Forestry Specific Japanese
Every profession has its own lingo, including forestry and the wood industry. We equip our students with this specialized knowledge to ensure they quickly adapt and excel on the job. We also train our talents using N3-level materials, even though only N4 certification is required for visas. This prepares them to independently achieve N3 as they settle and succeed in Japan.
Practical Forestry Skill
We provide hands-on training through a dedicated workshop and a 76-hectare educational forest, designed to prepare our students for executing Japanese forestry practices with ease. By immersing them in real-world scenarios, we ensure they gain the skills and confidence needed to excel in Japan’s forestry industry.
