Why did you decide to participate in the internship programme?
I participated in the JET Internship Programme because I wanted to experience the working environment in a private company doing international exchange activities rather than a government organisation, and to find out what kind of companies I would be suited to work for.
What type of work did you experience on the programme?
I helped update blogs and SNS, as well as deal with customers. Also, through interacting with customers, I got to learn about companies with a high percentage of foreign workers.
What did you get out of the programme?
I felt warmly welcomed by everyone at the company where I interned, and also gained a lot of experiences which I’m sure will be useful for my future. I learned about a variety of works at Japanese companies from many different perspectives. The internship was such a valuable experience!
After participating in the programme, how do you feel about working in Japan in the future?
My passion for working in Japan got even bigger now.
Do you have a message to JET participants who might consider participating in the JET Internship Programme in the future?
This is absolutely a valuable opportunity so please make good use of it!
