During my 2014 summer vacation, I has been given a precious chance of internship in Taisei Corporation - one of the largest construction companies in Japan.

My internship lasted only for two weeks, however, I have experienced in many departments of Taisei Corporation from civil to document control. As a big project, Taisei has recruited many workers from other countries like Malaysia, Philippine, etc. Therefore, it was a great chance for me to interact with these international workers as well as to understand the co-operation between Vietnamese workers and international workers.

During my internship, I had so many chances to visit the construction site. I was amazed by the size of the construction site - one of the biggest project in Vietnam right now. I also recognized the difference between knowledge I acquired at university and at working place and understand the importance of internship.

Finally, a special thanks from me to Kyushu university to give me such a great opportunity to experience the real working place. Also, I would like to suggest my junior students to join these internships in order to have a better understanding of working place.
