On September 24th, we held the 34th MPKEN ONEDAY Cooking Class! This time, we prepared Vietnamese cuisine: Beef Phở Cuốn and Jackfruit Yogurt (Sữa Chua Mít). We divided into groups and had a great time cooking while enjoying each other's company. The weather was fantastic, so we took the finished dishes out to the balcony. Somehow, it turned into a stylish meal event 😊 Even though we all made Phở Cuốn, each group added their own unique flavors and presentation. We're currently thinking about which country's cuisine to try next for our next event. If you have any requests, please don't hesitate to contact us. 

"On September 30th, we hosted an online study session for Vietnamese moms aspiring to work in Japan. Tailored to moms who wish to balance work and childcare in Japan, we covered a wide range of topics, including job hunting, Japanese language learning, and insights about nurseries. We were delighted to have 35 moms join us, with MPKEN and two guest speakers providing a wealth of information and guidance. Following the study session, MPKEN created a dedicated Facebook group for Vietnamese moms, which has already gathered around 300 members. For those who missed the event, we have plans for a playback. If you're interested, please join our Facebook group to stay updated!"

Started in 2015, the JPCAREER Project aims to provide Japanese language and on-demand BIM courses to outstanding STEM talents at Vietnam's National University of Civil Engineering and introduce them to Japanese companies. In our recent on-site JOB Fair in Vietnam, three Japanese companies participated, and six students received job offers. 

MPKEN is dedicated to supporting these students so they can excel as outstanding engineers in Japan!

The JPCAREER Project not only focuses on Japanese language learning but also offers opportunities to learn about Japanese culture and ways of thinking. 

This time, we all came together to prepare a Japanese home-cooked meal, 'Curry Rice' 🍛

It's a great way to take a break and immerse ourselves in Japanese culture amid our studies."

The 101st sempai is Mr. NGUYEN QUANG PHUONG.

His energetic approach to embracing new environments in life can serve as a significant source of inspiration and courage for those who feel unable to 'challenge' themselves due to factors like age or their current circumstances.
