MPKEN's First "Tea-Lightful Tea-Lightful Event ! Weekend" Takes Center Stage!
We recently hosted our inaugural "Tea-Lightful Weekend" right here at the MPKEN office. It was an occasion to savor the soothing flavors of Vietnamese tea while engaging in candid conversations about our daily challenges, adventures, and worries.
This delightful gathering was orchestrated by none other than Ms. Kobayashi, the proprietor of Ethnic Tea Salon, a Vietnamese tea boutique, and Ms. Nhat, a skilled psychological counselor affiliated with tomorrow.care. The event brought together a diverse group of individuals aged 25 to 35.
Amidst a cozy ambiance, our participants within the 25 to 35 age bracket shared their life's dilemmas and aspirations in Japan. Ms. Nhat and Mr. Kobayashi offered invaluable guidance that warmed hearts and enriched spirits, creating a truly rejuvenating experience for all.
Looking ahead, MPKEN is excited to host these "tea chat sessions" regularly, extending a warm invitation to you to join us for moments of serenity and connection.
Exploring Job Opportunities in Collaboration with a Leading International IT Firm
On August 2nd, MPKEN partnered with Twilio to organize an online job hunting study session for international job seekers. This event was part of Twilio's commitment to volunteer initiatives and attracted a diverse group of foreign job seekers and international students.
Participants had the unique opportunity to practice interview skills in both English and Japanese. With volunteers hailing from various corners of the globe, the advice provided was multifaceted and insightful. Volunteers openly shared their experiences and thoughts, helping participants build the confidence needed to excel in interviews. We are confident that the knowledge gained during this session will prove invaluable in their future job hunting endeavors

[Extra Edition] An Extraordinary Day: MPKEN Staff's BBQ and Sea Adventures !
As a last farewell to summer, MPKEN, both former employees and current staff, teamed up with Ethnic Tea Salon, a Vietnamese tea haven, for an unforgettable BBQ experience at a charming resort in Chiba.
The weekend was filled with laughter, fun, and camaraderie as we enjoyed the delights of summer. From poolside relaxation to mesmerizing fireworks and the soothing ocean waves, we embraced every facet of the season to the fullest.
Summer's long-drawn-out heat was no match for the warmth of MPKEN’s gathering.
