Maturity, professionalism, productivity, a positive attitude, and sensitivity to Japanese culture and issues are required. Japanese businesses expend a great deal of time, effort, and resources to accommodate our students without necessarily reaping any benefit in return. TJMP students are enriched by their internship experience and value the knowledge and expertise they gain. With a clear understanding of the goals and requirements, the internship should be a rewarding experience. While internships are required for TJMP students, they are also available to UW Non-master's students in our technical Japanese courses, and UW students from other academic departments.
Most positions require some type of high tech skills and experience.
Only UW students are eligible. To qualify, applicants need to be able to converse in daily Japanese, and they must be a UW student in some capacity during their stay in Japan. Internship Credit Option Students can earn 3 credits for a three month internship and up to 6 credits for longer internships.
