A new conversational Japanese course will be offered at Everett Community College (EvCC) starting January. The Jackson School and the UW Foster School of Business, along with the U.S. Department of Education Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language Program grant, are mentioned in the article for their grant support for the EvCC class. The three-quarter course will focus on teaching Japanese in a business setting and will culminate in an optional 10-day internship in Japan.
