Mirai Setu gave me an opportunity to visit Japan and work there for 1 month. Since it was my childhood dream, I am so grateful to AFS. I got the chance to work in SEIKO ELECTRIC CO. LTD. As an intern, and based on my work in this duration, the company reached out to me and gave me a Job Offer after an Interview. If it weren’t for AFS, I would not have realised my dream of working in Japan.”
