After the completion of the internship, Hang once returned to Vietnam and we concluded an employment contract for the future. She worked in Japan for one year before establishing an office in Vietnam and learned about our products and operations. Specifically, making plans toward the establishment of an office in Vietnam and searching for a local business partner, she was also actually involved in the export and import operations, which served as an opportunity for her to more deeply understand the strengths of KAWAGOSHI MASA's products. We thought that people coming to a different culture from overseas countries would feel lonely, so we first paid attention to giving consideration to her mental health. Because we thought that if she was mentally healthy , she would not be able to so her best. We assigned a mentor who continuously provided support for the aspect of life since she was in the internship and we paid careful attention to her living circumstance as well. Because Hang had experience through her internship, she could fit in fine with the company after joining and played an active role.

The visible outcome is that we could actually establish an office in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. In terms of the aspect of organizations in the company, our employees' barrier of awareness of overseas countries was lowered thanks to Hang and by knowing her fine character, our employees were able to work with a fresh mind. In addition, the challenging and positive attitude that excellent foreign human resources possess has had a positive influence on our employees. Hang went back to Ho Chi Minh at the end of March 2020 and has been managing the office alone since April. For that reason, we did not have any particular problem in communicating with Vietnam amid the impact of the COVID-19 thanks to her and because she continued working in Japan for one year after the completion of her internship, she could build relationships of trust with our employees. I think it was because she was actually involved in the export and import operations and we set the sufficient preparation period.

Hang is cheerful and positive and has a wonderful personality. Thanks to her, we are now able to easily develop overseas strategies. She made a one-year plan for the office in Vietnam and a medium-term plan, and everything has been proceeding as planned. We can trust her to do everything ranging from personnel distribution in the Vietnam branch to management, etc. and we are now considering expanding into Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. During the internship, we had a lot of problem, such as various procedures to go through (daily reports and various applications) and preparations for acceptance but you will surely get the results, and that is my actual feeling. Particularly for SMEs, opportunities to be able to match excellent human resources do not occur often, so I recommend this internship system.
