Business Internships in Japan
Below is a description of a variable number of opportunities currently available in Japan.

  • Internship Sponsors: Members of the Consumers' Co-Operative NET Group in the greater Tokyo region. They are food/non-food distributors to members only.

  • Time: late June until late August/early September

  • Conditions: 35 - 40 hours per week. 5 days per week. These internships place each participant in various company environments, i.e. several weeks in a distribution center with various tasks ranging from handling customer orders, marketing of weekly specials, receiving bulk materials from suppliers, assisting in the loading of orders for the Han Groups, helping a driver with daily deliveries, to an on-campus exposure of the Waseda University Co-Op in Tokyo in either the student book store, the restaurants or even the student travel office, to several weeks in a Co-Op retail store helping teams of employees in various departments.

  • Special Company Sponsored Events: Visits to the famous Nikko Shrine near Tokyo, company get-togethers, observation of membership drives and other social activities.

  • Housing: With two Japanese host-families, i.e., a complete integration into the social network of a family. This requires a high degree of personal motivation and commitment to fully accept the Japanese life style with a humble attitude and gratitude.

  • Company Responsibilities: Each Co-Op assigns a staff member to be responsible for the students' well being. The company donates 350,000 yen for the placement of each participating student, i.e., pays each family for complete room and board (food) accommodations, it reimburses the student for the daily local public transportation costs (subway, J.R. Line, or bus) to and from the work site and pays for lunch during working days and for all other expenses associated with special events.

  • Visa Requirements: in order to obtain the CULTURAL ACTIVITIES VISA (later to be issued by the nearest Consulate General of Japan) for this company sponsored internship, a student must enroll in one or several academic units either under the title of "Independent Studies" or "Experiential Learning" and submit such proof to the ICE Office. This is a very intensive learning experience and requires a lengthy time of preparation.

  • Language Requirement: Students with at minimum of two years of Japanese classes. A student must be currently enrolled in a Japanese class and demonstrate sufficient conversational knowledge of Japanese and a serious interest in the Japanese business community of Co-Op.
