The purpose of the program is to provide the intern with direct experience in the day-to-day operations of a Japanese company as well as assisting employees of Ichimiya Group companies in learning about American culture.
The term of the program is either 6 months or one year, depending on the applicants' circumstances and Japanese language ability. However, all effort will be made to fill the position as a one-year term.
As this is expected to be an ongoing exchange, first-year Japanese language students are welcome and encouraged to inquire in advance about the program.
