Obayashi Since 2018, Singapore has been sending engineers to our Headquarters in Japan for a six-month training programme, providing opportunities to gain new technical knowledge, broaden their perspectives and experience working in a different environment.
This time, we are checking in a little earlier.
Our colleagues Chu Jun Peng and Ayyappan Kumaravel are now just over a month into their training journey in Japan. In their first few weeks, they have already taken part in Japanese language learning, disaster preparedness activities and cultural experiences, while preparing for the next stage of their programme — site attachments and further exposure to Japanese construction practices and technology.

Beyond the professional learning, both have also been making the most of their time outside of training, exploring Japan and gaining a deeper appreciation of its culture, history and everyday life.
We look forward to following their journey over the coming months and seeing how these experiences continue to shape their learning and development.
