About OKC
Overview
The Oceania Koryu Centre Co., Ltd., OKC, was founded in 1985, by current CEO Mr. Hirofumi Nishimura, as a sole representative of the English College which was the accredit school of Australian government. Since then, OKC has been conducting the program for studying abroad in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
OKC has three major services.
1) Supporting individual overseas education such as a language study, working holiday, volunteer internship and so forth.
2) Supporting the group overseas training and educational travel such as a language study with home-stay, three months to one year overseas education for high school students, a language training with experimental internship and so forth.
3) Publication of the informational books related to overseas education and working holiday.
By the year of 2000, the affiliated schools, such as the University of Auckland, Sydney University and University of New South Wales, exceeded by 300. By the year of 2005, OKC opened the foreign offices at Auckland, Christ Church, Wellington, Sydney and Brisbane, and affiliated offices in Canada, U.S.A., and Europe, thus the supporting services for the clients who took the OKC's program were thoroughly established. By today, more than 1,000 persons took the OKC's individual program, more than 200 schools took on the OKC's group program and the sponsor business groups in the world including Australia, New Zealand, Canada and U.S.A. exceeded by 600.
OKC received the Australian Business Award presented by Australian government in 2006 because of its long term contribution to the development of Australian business and the good understanding of the Australian culture in Japan.
Greetings from OKC.
OKC, Oceania Koryu Centre, was founded for the purposes and arrangements of innovative study abroad programs and for the contributions to the international education. We have worked for individuals and schools for 26 years.
Persons study abroad and do Working Holiday for the dreams and goals with a view of the improvement of their English, the discovery of their true self, and the search for a new life, so as to make their life better.
Nowadays educational institutions have been faced with a high demand for the international education, as globalization is everywhere in the 21st century. Thus they have come to emphasize the education of cultivating the international mind, independency, and strong personality in addition to the traditional knowledge-based qualifications.
Our goals and wishes are concluded as below.
For individuals, we are committed to play an important role in where they can achieve their goals, obtain precious experiences and become internationally active through Working Holiday and Study abroad programmes. For educational institutions, the same goes where they can gain characteristics of their own through innovative educational programmes that we arrange, which leads them to a further development and helps their students become essential members of the society.
While there are high expectations from the world that Japan should play an important role in the world, we, OKC, can play our role of contributing to the society and the world by achieving our goals.
