On June 3rd 2026, we officially kicked off the very first class of the Go Global UPM – LabBase Japan – Nihongo Asia Academy collaboration. 🎓✨

𝟯𝟯 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 from the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Computer Science — who applied and were selected — have now begun an intensive Japanese Language programme under Nihongo Asia Academy & Jobs. This isn’t just about learning a new language. It is a direct pathway to launching their careers with reputable companies in Japan. 🚀

Prior to the first class , on April 27, LabBase Japan and Nihongo Asia Academy & Jobs conducted the LabBase Career Orientation Programme in the Auditorium Hall of Faculty of Computer Science & IT in UPM .

In Malaysia, where over 2 million graduates are currently facing underemployment, opportunities like this are game-changers. We firmly believe that Malaysian graduates who work in Japan will return with world-class experience, fresh perspectives, and knowledge that can uplift not only their own futures — but also our nation’s. 🌏💡

To our pioneering 33 students: You’re the first of many, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes you. がんばってください！

To our partners — [LabBase Japan] and [UPM CIRNET ] — thank you for making this vision a reality. Here’s to building a stronger bridge between Malaysia and Japan. 🤝
