Japan Market Entry Competition
The Winning Way Into Japan

9th JMEC commences on October 19th, 2002 (now accepting applications)

The Japan Market Entry Competition (www.jmec.gr.jp) is an innovative management training program for young business people to provide them with skills to succeed in doing business in Japan. JMEC offers companies with fresh perspective to opportunities in the Japanese market.

The program is divided into two parts; the lecture series and the business plan preparation period.

The lecture series consists of seventeen presentations by executives experienced in doing business in Japan, and are delivered on Saturdays between October and December.

Following the lecture series, the participants are divided into teams of five, or six, individuals and each team is assigned a project requiring them to prepare a business plan for a real business situation. The projects are submitted by companies, Project Clients, seeking to enter, or reposition, a product or service in the Japanese Market. This period lasts from December until May. The resulting business plans are put forward for a competition, judged by a panel of experts, and valuable prizes are awarded to the winning teams.

Participants are supported throughout the program by Team Mentors, Business Consultants and the Program Director.

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE ?
EAny resident or non-resident company or organization considering to introducing or repositioning a product or service in Japan
EAny English-speaking individuals, foreign or Japanese, working or studying in Japan, and has a genuine interest in improving their business skills and broadening their business network.

Hello
I'd like to make an inquiry regarding the GED-(General Educational Development) The American High School Equivalence Test.
I'd like to take the test but when looking around I have been given the option of a testing center named 'Prometric' which in my opinion is rather on the expensive side to take these tests. (375.00 dollars)
I want to ask all you mothers who are home schooling, where do your kids take these type of tests?? or if You have any friends or any knowledge of an alternative testing center. (eg: Military Base which Im looking into right now)
It would be of monstrous help!
Thanks for reading!

Help from a "coach".
http://www.tokyocoach.com

This is not therapy. It is problem solving based on the idea that the solution is within you. Sounds like a very proactive approach. Being a mother and taking care of a family is a career, these days often in addition to a workplace career. A good coach can help mothers find solutions.
