The Level 2 exam for Technical Intern Training Program participants is incredibly difficult!

2023/09/23

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

I'm so damn busy, it's crazy...

I'd really like someone to come cheer me on...!!

But that's beside the point.

The other day, our company held the Level 2 Technical Intern Training Program exam.

Level 2 Exam (Held on an Ongoing Basis)

It's super hard!

Scaffolding assembly and classroom tests, too!

 

If the exam were administered under normal conditions, even Japanese people would fail it.

And seriously, is it really okay to still be making this with a Rajet?

That's what I think, lol

Isn't it about time we used Impact?

Is it really worth spending a whole hour and a half on this??

 

And it's way too hard!

I can't believe they'd even think of sending technical interns to a level that's difficult even for Japanese people...

I guess that’s why they can conduct tests like this—precisely because they don’t know what it’s like on the ground.

 

I don't know how the results will turn out, but I'd be happy if I could at least pass the practical exam...

Since this Technical Intern Training Program is also being phased out, I’m not sure what will happen going forward, but I hope the system becomes more flexible.

 

See you later

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’d like to share a story from my recent trip to Nepal, where I was talking with the CEO I was traveling with about the future of technical interns and Japan in the past. During our conversation, we got to talking about how technical interns are similar to apprentices, aren’t they? “Apprenticeship (dechibōkō)…”
