Study Abroad & Career Support
Individual support for people who study and compete across borders.
You want to study in Japan, or play in Japan. But how do you find a school or team that will take you, who do you need to talk to, and how do you set up daily life? This is where many people get stuck.
WITS supports young people from overseas who want to study or play in Japan, and young Japanese people heading abroad, one person at a time. Our CEO moved to Germany on his own and built a career there, and that experience shapes how we work.
