Working in Hiroshima

Internships

Through internships, students can experience the actual work performed at companies, and they can act as an opportunity to identify such things as whether or not you are well-suited for the job, whether it is the job you truly desire, and what kind of workplace roles are available.
Internships are mainly conducted during the summer and spring vacations.
There are a number of different ways to participate in an internship.
Gain a thorough understanding of each of their characteristics, and participate in a program that matches your needs.

Company Observational Tour

By actually visiting a company, a company observational tour allows participants to experience the distinct characteristics, atmosphere, and the appeal of working for that company.
Additionally, depending on the tour, participants may be able to take part in networking events that will allow them to hear the actual voices of the company’s employees!
In addition to company observational tours conducted by the support center, there are also those that are conducted by the prefecture and the employment promotion councils of the individual municipalities, etc.
We will notify you of application information on company observational tours through the support center website, our e-mail newsletter, and social media, etc.
