An internship is a program that allows students to gain hands-on work experience at a company while they are still enrolled in school.
Its main purpose is to deepen students’ understanding of specific industries and job roles, and in Japan, internships are widely recognized as part of the job-hunting process.
Many internships are one-day or short-term programs, and they typically begin in earnest around the summer of a student’s third year at university.
Recruitment information can be found on job-hunting websites.
By participating in an internship, students can gain a better understanding of the workplace and acquire valuable experiences that they can highlight in their entry sheets and job interviews.
