Hi! I’d like to ask if anyone out there can tell me about how to find information about internship opportunities for non-Japanese that may be available. I received an inquiry and here are some details:
- Native speaker of English
- Experience studying in Japan (Kumamoto) with some knowledge of Japanese (though not necessarily fluent)
- Studying electrical engineering
- Tech savvy
- Would be willing to teach English or do other language related work if he/she could also be involved in work related to electrical engineering
- Hoping to do internship in the fall of this year
My guess is that there must be quite a few companies that would be willing to take on such a student as an intern. However, I’m not sure how to go about the “match making” between company and student. If any of you have any ideas about how to do this or what opportunities might be available, please let me know. If I receive any private replies, or replies addressed to Kumamoto International that are not visible on this page, I’ll post summaries here. I imagine that there must be quite a lot of people who are interested in internship possibilities, as well as companies that would like to accept such interns.
