Expanding Internship Opportunities 

Internships in Japan are constantly evolving,  with more companies now welcoming interns from diverse backgrounds.

Internships in Japan span various industries, from computer science and engineering to design and finance and many more. This diverse range of opportunities allows interns to contribute their skills and gain insights from various sectors.

Government Support for Enhanced Internship Experiences

The Japanese government plays a big role in facilitating internships for people from other countries. Programs like the Specified Skilled Worker enables international interns to work in areas such as hospitality or restaurants where there is an urgent need for more skilled workers.

Local Projects Connecting Interns and Communities

Projects in local towns in Japan enhance experiences for foreign interns, creating a welcoming environment and fostering interaction with locals.  This not only enriches the cultural diversity of the community but also creates more internship opportunities in cities like Tokyo and Osaka, and even in remote areas .
