Global Internship Program 2023
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work in Japan, then the 10-week Sumitomo Electric Global Internship Program could be the ideal opportunity for you. Look into gaining practical work experience at the R&D labs or corporate headquarters of Sumitomo Electric Industries, a Global Fortune 500 company. This year’s program will run from May 22 to July 28, with internships located in the Osaka and Yokkaichi areas. University students from all countries are welcome to apply.
Included in our internships: Round-trip airfare from the country of your university to Japan, accommodations and meals, commuter rail pass (if applicable), travel insurance, and a modest weekly stipend to assist with living expenses while in Japan. Please note that this is not a paid internship. Modifications to the start/end dates of the internship will be considered on a case-by-case basis. At the completion of the program, full-time opportunities in some positions may be available.
