Internship Program in Japan

Program Introduction

Internship Program in Japan for university Students in Japan is an educational and cultural exchange program approved by the Japanese Ministry of Justice to recruit interns from companies outside of Japan. Since 2008, local Japanese companies have been recruiting students majoring in Japanese from Chinese universities for a period of three months. The program has been launched in other countries and regions of the world before entering China, and the program is aligned with the talent training program and internship practice of Chinese university students. At the end of the program, students will receive a certificate of excellence from the internship company. The program not only allows students to experience the management model of Japanese companies, understand Japanese culture, improve their language skills, and broaden their international perspective, but also provides a solid foundation for students who wish to study or work in Japan in the future.
