Message from the Representative Director

Representative Director

Thank you very much for visiting our website.

I was born in Myitkyina, a town in northern Myanmar, and came to Japan in 2008 as an international student. During my time in Japan, I studied the language and culture, met many wonderful Japanese people, and received tremendous support from them. The knowledge and experiences I gained in Japan continue to form the foundation of who I am today.

With deep gratitude toward Japan and a strong belief in the potential of young people in Myanmar, I founded Smile Dream Co., Ltd. in 2018.

When the company was first established, our main focus was on travel services for visitors to Japan. However, as the times have changed, we have shifted our focus to human resources consulting, connecting young people from Myanmar with companies in Japan.

We believe our role goes beyond simply introducing people to jobs. We place great importance on understanding differences in language, culture, and values, and on building relationships of trust between companies and the people we introduce.

We also strive to work closely with each individual through pre-departure education and practical training, so that young people from Myanmar can feel confident and secure as they begin and continue their careers in Japan.

Myanmar is home to many sincere and motivated young people who are eager to learn and grow. We are committed to supporting them responsibly so that they can make the most of their abilities and contribute to workplaces across Japan.

We believe that when one young person grows, it can gradually bring positive change not only to their family and community, but also to the future of their country.

Guided by this belief, we hope to continue connecting people and countries, working together to build a brighter future for everyone.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support of Smile Dream Co., Ltd.
