Looking for Internship in Japan

[lukechamber]

Hello...
Does anyone here know where I can find an Internships Program in Japan?
I hope that would be paid Internship, but if its not, no problem.
I have found one in Asahi Nihongo, but I want to try looking for paid Internship.
Thank you

wow...Nice Internship database you have there...
well, honestly, I want paid Internship because I want to enter Japanese Language School which is I must have family in Japan just to enrolled it and I do not have one. And I start to think that would be great if I can find a visa sponsored Internship and at the same time I enrolled in Japanese Language.
Maybe teaching English is a great opportunity, I have graduated from English department anyway.
Why does I want to take Japanese Language School? because, I have plan to enter University in Japan.
I do not want to burden my parent here in Indonesia, I want to be independent person, so I think to find Internship to gain experience and fulfill my own needs.
Thank you Glenski...may the God be with you...

Are you saying that someone told you to enter a school in Japan you must have family here? Wrong. Student visa mostly just says you have to show proof of finances to pay for tuition. With a student visa, you can apply for special permission to be allowed work, and that will be only part-time, but it's enough to give you some experience.

 

[lukechamber]

Glenski san, do you have suggestion for me to take school in Japan?
FYI, I only have very limited funds to cover the fees.
Too bad, that I have dream to take university graduate from Japan and have working experience in Japan at the same time.
So, that is the real reason why I want to looking for paid Internship, to cover my daily needs.
I am honest to you.

Hi lukechamber. I went to an international university in Kyushu where I got a good scholarship. Maybe you can try applying. Heard about Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University? They have undergrad and graduate programs. Scholarships good! Met several Indonesian friends there when I was a student... Let me know if you need more info.

 

[lukechamber]

Hello Tanji063 san,
Thank you for your reply and PM it was helpful
Yes, I know about Ristumeikan APU, even I tried to apply for scholarship there.Which is is not all the fees(tuition and books) covered by scholarship.
But, again when I see the funds I am very surprised. So, I start to think about paid Internship or if I was very very lucky, have a permanent job in Japan.
To cover my daily need and tuition fees.

Luke,
Sorry for the late reply. Even sorrier because I don't have any recommendations. You haven't really stated what you what field you want to be in, though... Describe it and perhaps others can help.

Rits APU and Miyazaki International U teach in English. That's about all I can tell you.

Actually, I am looking for Senmon Gakko or Training for Special Subject.
But, it has to complete or pass the JLPT.
I am looking for paid Internship also, so I can get job in Japan as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, it is hard to find one. Even, I try to looking for a entry level job there and still no answer or good news.
Do you here knows about Entry Level job in Japan, for non Japanese?
Teaching English, they always ask for Native English teacher.
I like Creative Design, Advertisement, or Game Maker thus I look for it in this country.
I browse to find out, about Design School in Japan, and it is very very interesting I found there.

 

[Glenski]

Pass the JLPT?

Which level? There are 4.

One thing is clear. If you are into a non-teaching job, you will usually face the language requirements.

 

[lukechamber]

I must pass JLPT level 2, wow..I am so farrrr away from it..even level 4 I am not sure I can pass through it..
and yeah, I must face the language requirements, unless I come to Japan for Teaching English.
But, another problem is it should be Native English Speaker to work as English Teacher, and sometime they ask for teaching certificate to be eligible to teach.
Sigh!
I think of another way to reach my dream.. Apply job, which is not an English Teacher is too hard to get hired. Take Internship even a paid one, it takes a lot of money just to enrolled.
Apply job for Entry Level for non Japanese, it should be something unique and not all Japanese could do, I do not know what exactly is that.
Thank you Glenski.
