Overview

In a globalized world, the desire to travel and learn abroad is a shared hope for many. However, barriers like financial constraints and language anxiety often deter individuals from embarking on their international journeys. Understanding these challenges, Waktori Inc. has launched an innovative service called "Waktori Study Abroad," designed to guide aspiring travelers from the foundational steps of saving money to post-return career support.

Breaking Down Barriers

Waktori’s mission is not limited to merely sending people abroad; it aims to tailor unique study abroad plans based on individual financial circumstances, language proficiency, travel timing, and career aspirations. As we prepare to launch on July 22, 2026, the insights gathered from a survey of 185 registered Waktori staff members underscore the common anxieties that aspiring travelers face:

• - 52.4% expressed concerns about their English proficiency.
• - 43.8% voiced worries about initial expenses.
• - 41.1% were anxious about finding jobs in the host country.

Additionally, many expressed a need for guidance on visa applications, job searches abroad, and selecting appropriate countries and schools for study.

Comprehensive Support System

Acknowledging these concerns, Waktori offers a comprehensive support system that encompasses every stage of the journey:

Step 1: Preparing Finances through Resort Work

The first step for participants involves choosing resort jobs that help generate study abroad funds. This approach enables individuals to minimize living expenses while earning money. Waktori staff can utilize DMM English conversation classes as an employee benefit to enhance their English skills while working, subject to specific conditions.

Step 2: Intensive Language Training in the Philippines

Following the financial preparations, the program provides opportunities for immersive language learning experiences in the Philippines, focusing predominantly on one-on-one lessons that also help participants acclimatize to living abroad. Participants may also receive recommendations for studying in countries beyond the Philippines, depending on their goals and budget. Options for other languages such as Korean and French are also available.

Step 3: Gaining Language Experience Domestically

After completing their studies, participants are offered job opportunities in Japan’s tourist hotspots where they can practice the languages they’ve learned. This experience allows them to build funds and gain professional experience for their next international endeavors.

Step 4: Engaging in Working Holidays

With enhanced language skills and work experience, participants are encouraged to pursue working holidays abroad, further enriching their skill set.

Step 5: Career Development Post-Study

Upon returning to Japan, Waktori assists individuals in finding jobs in sectors like hospitality and tourism, maximizing the value of their overseas experiences in their careers. The program is also adaptable for those who only wish to study abroad or have sufficient English ability to proceed directly to a working holiday.

Domestic Study Abroad Option

In addition to international study, Waktori proposes a unique domestic language immersion program, where foreign languages learned abroad can be practiced while working at tourist sites in Japan. Popular options include working in Niseko for English or various locations in Kyushu for Korean. Each program is tailored to fit the participants’ preferred language, time frame, job type, and current job market conditions.

Transforming Work into Learning Opportunities

Waktori’s approach encourages maintaining language skills through continued practice while working at home, preparing candidates for their next overseas venture. The frequency of language use and specific job characteristics will vary depending on the workplace, role, and timing.

Commitment to Broader Access

The ultimate goal of Waktori is not simply to increase the number of people traveling abroad but to foster experiences that broaden one’s horizons and uncover new possibilities. By transforming study abroad into a series of learning opportunities that expand life choices, Waktori is committed to making overseas experiences accessible to everyone, not just a select few.

Additionally, this initiative will contribute positively to Japan’s hotel and tourism sectors, nurturing a robust organization that intertwines education, tourism, and human resources.
