We are pleased to announce our collaboration with the University of Western Australia for a study tour involving 34 second-year International students majoring in Economics from Meiji Gakuin University, who visited Perth for a 15-week Centre for English Language Teaching program. 

This initiative marked our first opportunity to introduce an industry engagement session specifically for these Japanese students, allowing them to learn about how a Japanese company operates in Australia and experience a different working culture, particularly with Mitsui as a Japanese company operating on an international scale.

This engagement has expanded their knowledge of Mitsui, as many students are already familiar with the company through various advertisements and promotions.

 We focused on areas of particular interest, such as decarbonisation and consumables. With the cooperation of Outback Carbon’s Lucy Mulcahy and Shark Bay Salt Pty Ltd's Andrew Parker, we explored our carbon projects, discussing everything from the benefits of forestation to salt production, their markets to applications, and even providing a glimpse into our operations, which broadened their horizons.

"We believe this was a very valuable experience for the students to engage with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, enhance their communication skills, and deepen their understanding of Mitsui’s values and activities in Australia," said Tack Nakao, General Manager of Mitsui’s Perth Office.
