Purpose and features
This program aims to provide international students living in the Kyoto area with the aim of finding employment at Japan companies, to deepen their understanding of the business contents and appeal of companies in the Kyoto area through work experience, to promote their motivation to hire and find employment through mutual understanding between international students and companies, and to establish international students in the Kyoto area after employment. For host companies, 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.

This is a paid internship based on a worker dispatch contract. In principle, we ask that you provide at least 80 hours of work experience opportunities.

The summer vacation period varies depending on the school to which the international student belongs, so please consult with the coordinator.
Company burden: Dispatch fee (¥1,160/per hour), Student transportation fee (up to ¥1,000 per day) * Once the dispatched student is confirmed, a worker dispatch contract will be concluded with the program management contractor (temporary staffing company).
