| Special Features of Our School |
The "creative" fields such as design, manga and music are based on the merit system, and working in such fields may be different from working for ordinary companies. We provide closely supervised counseling services including “career advancement guidance” and “individual counseling” to help our graduates find the career path to make best use of the skills they learned at our school and further improve their skills. Career counselors are stationed at our school to offer consultation services at all times. |
