Mr. Yuya Yamanaka, who was selected as the Grand Prize winner at the degree conferment ceremony (held on September 15) of the Kyoto Computer Graphics Institute (KCGI) for the spring semester of 2017, was a working student who studied at the Systems Department of Banshu Shinkin Bank (head office: Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture) as part of a long-term corporate training program.He studied hard to meet the company's expectations and earned 77 credits with excellent grades, far more than the 44 credits required for completion of the program.In addition to winning the Best Project Award for his project on "Topic Analysis of Voice Input Chat and Research on Business Support Service," he also presented this project at the Information Processing Society of Japan Kansai Branch's annual conference in September and passed the HTML5 certification exam (Level 1), an advanced qualification in IT.
Selected by Banshu Shinkin Bank's policy to train future professionals in the IT field, Yamanaka entered KCGI in October 2015.I am relieved to have successfully completed the program, as it was my first case of long-term corporate training at Banshu Shinkin Bank, for which I felt a great sense of responsibility.Before entering KCGI, I was mainly engaged in system operation and management, but in the future I would like to utilize the knowledge, skills, and experience I gained at KCGI to develop systems that will lead to better service to our customers," he said.
