International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: University Consortium Kyoto)

Since 2016, the Kyoto Network for International Student Studies (Secretariat: Kyoto International Affairs Department, Consortium of Universities) has been implementing an internship program for international students living in the Kyoto area. We are looking for companies and organizations that can accept international students for this internship program.

For host companies and organizations, there are various benefits such as revitalization of the company by accepting international students, accumulation of experience in accepting foreign employees, and PR to international students. In addition, international students can acquire the ability to find a job and play an active role in Japan by understanding the corporate culture of the Japan and how to proceed with their work.

Target companies

About 40 companies and organizations that have their head office, branch offices, offices, etc. in Kyoto Prefecture and can accept international students in Kyoto Prefecture

* We are looking forward to receiving applications from companies and organizations that agree with the "Appendix: Ideas that we would like the host companies and organizations to support".

* Please consider accepting 1~2 international students per company or organization. If the matching with the international student is not successful, we will not ask you to accept you unreasonably.

Eligible International Students

* Selection and matching will be conducted by interview.

Working period

You will be provided with work experience opportunities during the period of early August ~ late September 2023 (during the summer vacation for students and students).

* For details such as activities outside the status of qualification for international students, etc., etc., please consult with the person in charge of the project.
