Types of Internships:
In the current year, Japan is providing three distinct categories of internships:
- Commuting Internships (A/A2 Course): For this internship option, you will travel from your home to the company where you will be working on a daily basis. This setup allows for face-to-face interaction with colleagues and supervisors, fostering effective communication and collaboration.
- Online Internships (B/B2 Course): With online internships, you can acquire valuable experience from the comfort of your own home or any preferred location. This type of internship is especially advantageous for companies seeking global expansion, as it enables targeted surveys tailored to specific locations. Additionally, it offers convenience for foreign participants who can engage in the internship without the need for immigration procedures.
- Visiting Internships (C Course): Designed for participants arriving from overseas, visiting internships provide a remarkable opportunity to gain work experience in Japan. During this internship, you will stay at an accommodation facility located within commuting distance of the internship site. This immersive experience allows you to not only acquire professional skills but also immerse yourself in Japanese culture and lifestyle.
