Message to students:

This internship program is a superb opportunity for the students who are willing to earn industrial experience along with their academics. Through this program, students can develop their skills and personality by working with one of the famous and revered industries and institutions of the world. This program gives the opportunity to students to interact and work with the people who are highly experienced in their respective fields. Working with them can be highly fruitful in terms of shaping your personality and helping you become the best version of yourself. I would definitely recommend this program to other international students who are seeking to gain high quality industrial experience but finding it difficult to get any opportunity in Japan due to language requirements. For Japanese students, it is even more intriguing as it can broaden their perspectives of having their careers or further studies in foreign countries which most of the Japanese students don’t consider as an option. Moreover, travelling a new country and spending one or two months there teaches you a lot of new things. One can learn a new language, the local culture, can make new friends and explore nearby places and get the full benefits of staying in a new country.
