JMEC requires a significant investment of time, money, and energy. Prospective participants often want to hear directly from past JMEC participants before applying. To connect with alumni, attend a JMEC information session, where former participants will share their experiences and provide insights into what it's really like to be part of JMEC. You can also read some alumni quotes here for additional perspectives.

“JMEC helped me change my career. Now I am doing something that excites me and working with really passionate people.“ Chinyere O, JMEC 28 & JMEC29.

“Participating in JMEC allowed me to meet people I would have never been able to meet, greatly widening my professional network in Japan.” Roy Tuang, JMEC29

“JMEC had opened my mind to new possibilities, after having worked for the same company for 10 years. I suppose if I would never have done JMEC, then my current career would not exist. So thank you to JMEC!” Jun Uchida

"JMEC is a fantastic program. The lecturers are brilliant. They’re some of the best lecturers I have seen in my life. I chose JMEC as a part of a process for deciding what further education I would like to take. JMEC is the best place to learn about yourself and learn about which of your interests are worthy of pursuit. JMEC opened up for me a world I had never had access to before. The JMEC community is a place where people think positively and constantly challenge what is possible." Lindsey Rogerson, JMEC25

“JMEC delivered exactly the hands-on experience I was seeking, from tackling real business problems to coordinating the efforts of a diverse team. Each challenge we faced was an opportunity to put into action new techniques learned in the program and to deepen our understanding of the Japanese market. Like learning a language while living where it's spoken, applying the skills learned in JMEC immediately reinforced them.” Imai Jen-La Plante, JMEC20
