Career Experience Program: DOMINISTA CHALLENGE

From October 23 to 24, 2025, Dormy Inn Asahikawa will host the DOMINISTA CHALLENGE, a program designed to enrich high school students' perspectives on careers.

Over the past few years, Dormy Inn has welcomed more than 70 schools, with 22 from the Hokkaido and Tohoku regions, making this program an essential component of career education in Japan.

Purpose: Developing Career Awareness

The main aim of the DOMINISTA CHALLENGE is to equip students with necessary knowledge and attitudes that are pivotal for their future career paths. Through real-life experiences at Dormy Inn, they will not only learn about the hospitality industry but will also gain insights into customer service, teamwork, and community engagement. This program includes various hands-on experiences such as front desk operations, facility management, and food service in a safe and encouraging environment.
