With the aim of providing more quality English-language and business-skill professional-development opportunities to Northern Japan, Akita International University (AIU) will provide and oversee a 1-year (48 weeks) program targeting business professionals based in Tohoku and Hokkaido. Capitalizing on its position as a leading university in Northern Japan and one built upon the principles of American Liberal Arts, AIU is well suited to providing this program. In addition to its world-class faculty and online learning resources, AIU has a Global Business Program from which to draw on when developing programming focused on business professional development. AIU has been providing such programs to business professionals all over Japan for many years. This will be the first program targeted specifically to individuals in Northern Japan.
