Japan Internship 2023

مقدمة عن المنحة:

 

The Japan Internship Program aims to support Japanese companies in expanding their overseas business and fostering innovation by leveraging the expertise of highly skilled foreign professionals. The program acknowledges that incorporating global talent can enhance the competitiveness of Japanese companies.

While there has been a recent increase in the number of Japanese companies interested in hiring international talent, this trend has not been fully realized, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SMEs often lack experience in working with global professionals and have limited networks in this regard.

To address this challenge, the "METI Japan Internship Program" facilitates the development of a robust framework for SMEs to engage in overseas expansion. This is achieved by hosting internships for foreign university students and global talent, providing them with opportunities to gain insights into job responsibilities in Japanese companies. Moreover, this year, certain internships will accommodate pairs of foreign interns and Japanese students, thereby contributing to the globalization of Japanese students.

Overall, the Japan Internship Program strives to bridge the gap between Japanese companies, especially SMEs, and talented individuals from around the world, fostering mutual understanding and collaboration for the benefit of both parties.

 

Types of available internship

 

A/A2 Course: Commuting Internships

Under the A/A2 Course, you will have the opportunity to commute from your home to the internship company every day to carry out your duties. This working style allows for face-to-face interaction with your colleagues and supervisor, facilitating effective communication and collaboration.

B/B2 Course: Online Internships

The B/B2 Course offers the flexibility of conducting your internship experience remotely, from your own home or any other suitable location. This online format is particularly beneficial for companies considering overseas expansion, as it enables the conduction of surveys and research that are specific to local environments. It also provides convenience for participants from overseas, as they can engage in the internship without the need for immigration procedures.

C Course: Visiting Internships

In the C Course, interns from overseas will have the opportunity to come to Japan and reside in accommodation facilities within commuting distance of the internship site. This arrangement allows for a comprehensive experience of working in Japan while providing valuable insights into Japanese culture and lifestyle.
