北九州市立高校のインタビューシップが本日で終了しました！！”The Interviewship program for Kitakyushu Municipal High School came to an end today!!”【ENG CHT KOR JPN】

For the past two days, Ma­na Togou, a first-year student at Kitakyushu Municipal High School, joined us at Mihagino Batting Center as part of her school program for an “Interviewship”!

Unlike a typical internship, this program focuses mainly on interviews, allowing students to learn more deeply about companies and the work they do. This was the second year in a row that Mihagino Batting Center has participated in the program.

Togou-san is a member of her school’s brass band and plays the tuba.

During the two-day program, we explained the daily work involved in running a batting center, as well as the unique services and ideas we use to make sure our customers have a great time.

She also experienced our biggest point of pride: our excellent pitching-machine control!

She tried batting, adjusting the machine’s pitch control in the machine room, and even some simple machine adjustments, giving her a chance to experience the behind-the-scenes work that customers normally don’t get to see.

She also interviewed Yuji Maeda, a former professional baseball player and current coach at MBC Baseball School, as well as some of the students attending the baseball school!

In addition, she observed an actual MBC Baseball School practice session.

Based on the interviews, hands-on experiences, and observations from these two days, she will give a presentation about Mihagino Batting Center.

We are all looking forward to seeing what kind of presentation she creates!

Togou-san, thank you for your hard work over these two days!

We hope this experience will give you an opportunity to think about your future, as well as your school life and the kind of work you may want to pursue!
