Message from the Principle of PM Gijuku

There is a famous phrase, “Boys be ambitious!” as you know.

How about you?  Are you ambitious?

Have you push forward to your goal?

Have you ever experienced to reach your goal to cooperate with your team that might not be done only by yourself?

We have been providing the learning environment like mentioned above.

Would you like to learn the art that you can grow having a bigger dream with some assistance?

PM Gijuku, the arrangements academy offers the services.

Sometimes it is too hard to obtain a big goal all alone.  What if you can reach a goal by cooperating with a group and share the happy feeling of achievement with them?  What if there is the most appropriate and the shortest course for you?

Of course there should be such subject in general school.  But we would like to begin as a juku open to anyone who is not a student, even to adults.

Have you heard of Project Management?  Our service is based on the concept of PM.

PM is a pack of our ancestors’ wisdom that is helpful in business. As PM is the common concept over the world, you can work on projects in the way of PM wherever you go.

While English is the international language, you can say Project Management is the international business arrangements.  I have acquired results in the various kinds of educational and learning field as follows.

The principal of arrangements academy “PM Gijuku”

CEO of Round Table Com, Inc

Project Management, the art of the arrangements, has been standardized in the world. We think PM is the significant learning subject as much as English to cultivate human resources acting globally. From elementary school to university, Project Management has been adopted as a trial to cultivate independent learners thinking by themselves and organizing the team through the experience-based learning.
