All about being a Monica in Japan

The JETRO intern program

Since 1995, JETRO has promoted an international internship program to have companies in Japan host students of universities and graduate schools in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom to be interns at those companies. Since the program's inception, JETRO has matched 491 students with 102 Japanese host companies.

I should put in a plug for the Nambu Foundation. They do 2-month internships, a buddy of mine got a summer fellowship through Nambu.

The JETRO intern program

Deep doo-doo warning:
If you land a fellowship with JETRO, you might end up being my O-cha intern.


(JETRO interns get a nice vacation---anything else is rare. Actually, regular, long-term employment in Japan Inc seldom results in valuable job skills beyond Japanese social skills.)
