Destination — Japan
Intern in Japan. Ancient tradition, cutting-edge industry.
Tokyo placements across finance, technology, marketing, design, hospitality and more — with accommodation, airport pickup, 24/7 support and cultural immersion from day one.
Overview
A global power built on skill, precision and craft.
Japan is a major power both regionally and globally, known for a highly skilled workforce and one of the world's longest life expectancies. Far more than a destination for travellers, it is deeply modern — with an influential culture, a celebrated cuisine and a long record of technological achievement. Sony, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Toyota, Canon, Nissan and Uniqlo all began here.
Japan's success takes many forms — there is something here for everyone to discover.
What makes living in Japan compelling is the contrast: an intricate, ancient cultural tradition running alongside one of the most economically and technologically advanced societies on earth.
