The 2nd Annual Come on Out-Japan Summer Internship Program is extending an invitation to top U.S. universities and Japanese high school students for a cross-cultural learning experience.
They are currently seeking U.S. college students and recent graduates with native level English skills, who would be interested in coming to Japan for 6 weeks from July 8th through August, 19th 2016. Although this is an unpaid internship, the sponsor is providing certain expenses for each Intern who participates in the six week program. In addition to airfare, lodging, meal and transportation subsidies, the program offers optional Japanese language classes, field trips, dinner/cooking nights and even an overnight trip. These additional opportunities are all designed to add cultural enrichment to your summer abroad experience.
This program is different from any other traditional teaching positions in Japan. Interns will facilitate English conversations with Japanese high school students on a variety of relevant global topics. Outside of the class, interns will have space in their schedule to fulfill their personal goals and cultural exploration.
For more information go to www.comeonoutjapan.com or email info@comeonoutjapan.com.
