Trainee's Story
"I was a security guard while studying at ENZO Tech. I dreamt of acquiring other working skills because I believed that obtaining one was the way to work abroad and further help my family financially.
If it weren't for ENZO Tech, the door to opportunities abroad might still be closed to me. This institution has been such a big help to me.
I wouldn't be here in Japan if I hadn't been given the opportunity to study at ENZO Tech. I hope you can help more people like me. I salute your leadership, more powers and God bless you."
