Language and Internship Japan

Benefits & Eligibility

You’re eligible to apply for the Language and Internship Japan program if you:

	are between 20 and 30 years old
	have a university degree (or at least be in year 2 of your uni studies)
	have 2 years work experience
	have basic Japanese conversational skills*
	want to gain work experience abroad
	have funds to support yourself during the program

* All applicants need to have passed level 3 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), with a total score of 320 or more points out of 400, including results of 75% or more in each of the 3 sections of the JLPT.

Your work placement will most likely be in the internet and/or computing fields. But the better your language skills and the broader your interests then the wider the placement options are for you.

Your experience in Japan can be beneficial in many ways:

	Polish your Japanese skills in a Japanese environment, where trained professionals help you to improve your listening and conversation skills
	Gain professional work experience overseas
	Accommodation included - so no hassles looking for a place to live
	The support and advice of staff in Japan throughout your program
	Get to know how others live and come to see the world from another perspective
	Test yourself and acquire independence and maturity
	Make new friends and appreciate old ones even more
	Gain experience and judgement
	Give your CV that competitive edge by being able to record your overseas work experience
	Learn not only about Japanese language, but participate in other cultural  activities such as ikebana, taiko, ocha no yuu, karate and origami - just to name a few

Becoming an intern in Japan gives you more than knowledge about Japan and its culture. Time abroad teaches you about building friendships, taking responsibility for yourself, respecting differences and tolerating the beliefs of others.
