We are Internship Japan, a growing group of people working voluntarily (Non-Profit Organization) for the mission to establish and support a new and better system to support internships in Japan. We believe that young and highly-motivated foreigners willing to work and study in Japan can be a great asset to Japan’s business world . Japanese language is one of the key points for an intern in Japan to be successful so we believe in a joint combination of internships and language education. Most importantly, we strongly believe that interns should not incur any costs for entering an internship program. Our mission: - Establish, promote and support a proper system of internships in Japan - Create a legal, safe and worry-free environment for entities taking interns - Help internship-seekers everywhere to find internships in Japan (free of charge) - Support internship-seekers to study Japanese - Grant scholarships to interns in need who wish to do an internship in the non-profit sector, start-ups and artistic or cultural activities - Actively support women's empowerment in the business world - Support and educate companies and organizations in Japan about the system of internships - Support a network of opportunities for everyone, including networking events - Create a long-lasting and worthwhile relationship between companies, organizations and interns Internship Japan officially registered as an Ippanshadanhōjin (一般社団法人), a form of non-profit organization in Japan, on the 24th of September 2014. After 2 years of rapid growth, we are now ready to become even more professional with our work and support companies, organizations and internship-seekers from all over the world. Our association currently engages in promoting and educating about the internship system. We don’t assist or substitute anyone in the procedures of recruitment. Internship-seekers and companies deal with the procedures solely themselves and on their own responsibility.
