A. There are an increasing
number of students who participate in a corporate internship program
in order to gain experience. An internship generally refers to a
program whereby students undergo training at businesses and other
organizations. If you participate in such a program while a student
but will be receiving monetary compensation for the work, you must
first get a permit to perform activities outside your status of
residence; in other words, you must take the same steps as when
engaging in part-time work.
Please inquire at your school
regarding student internship programs.
If you would like to undergo company
training for a specified period after graduation, you must first
consult with your academic advisor, find a company related to
your chosen field that will accept you as a trainee, change your
status of residence from that of College Student to a residency
status that allows you to work in Japan.
