internship

I am trying to find a summer internship in Tokyo. I realized internships are not common in Japan. There are a lot of temporary part-time jobs offered in Japan; however, it is hard to define what an internship is and what is not. I thought it was interesting to see different countries have different business systems. In addition, I was thinking why Japan does not have internship opportunities especially in a big city like Tokyo. I think it is because there are so many part-time jobs available, so students will rather have a job which pays than have an internship. If I start a business, I will definitely offer internships in my company.

I would have not expected countries to differ in such a way. That's very interesting that you brought that up. I hope you find something fitting for the summer that allows you to learn and make some money all at once! You should definitely follow through with your last comment - offering internships within your own company some day. Who knows - maybe other companies will see your success and follow your lead!
