This internship was really meaningful to me as it introduced me directly to the working experience especially in the field of consultant company. Different with construction company, in NiX Co., Ltd. there were wider aspects that I learnt and more projects that I took a look on. More of the activities were conducted in classes with several site visit to supervise how the field workers do their job. Those depicted how consultant company employees work which is more in the planning and designing as well as supervising rather than constructing the infrastructure. The last but not least, I learnt also Japanese working ethics that encourage me to learn both of Japanese language and manner.

Name of Student:  Shota Yamamoto from Japan

Venue:  Patimban, Jakarta  Indonesia

Name of Project: Patimban Port Development Project

Period:  From September 2 to  14 , 2019

 

 

I learned that to manage a construction project, whether domestic or international, you have to pay attention to many aspects of the project such as safety, cost, period, quality and so on with safety having the highest priority but none of them should be missed. At the same time, private companies have to pursue the maximum profit. I could see it’s harder to manage all the factors in international projects because there are often unprecedented issues and therefore more uncertainties than domestic projects.

Name of Student: LI GUANDA from China

Venue: Osaka City 

Name of Project: NAKAHAMA sewage plant

Period: September 2 to 13, 2019

During the two weeks’ internship, I have studied a lot. I found that working in the company is totally different with the study in the school. Cooperating with other people, finishing own work on time, have dinner with colleagues after whole day are completely new experience. Also, I have to appreciate Shimizu co. for providing me this chance to learn and grow up.

Venue: Manila , Philippines

Name of Project: Pasig-Marikina River Channel Improvement Project (Phase III)

International Internship is one of the reasons why I entered ICP. The project I joined is the dredging (deepen and widen a river to prevent floods) of Marikina River in Metro Manila. I leaned not only construction management but also difficulties of working in a foreign country, where language and culture are totally different, and senses of fulfillment when you overcome them. I had so much fun during my stay there. I thank all the staffs involved in my internship, especially my supervisor, who is always nice and patient with me.
