Tokyo Internship Program with CRCC Asia

I was very happy overall with going to Japan and was happy with how I was treated however I think some points to improve on would be letting the student know they will be spending more than what the program is itself. And I suppose trying to get the students more involved with events happening through CRCCA.

In the Tokyo division, there weren’t many events that interested us. It would be nice to implement the events you hold in China to have some similarities in Tokyo. But aside from that, I enjoyed my experience and the staff was very helpful when I needed help. They always provided advice if we didn’t know what we were going to do that day. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone that wants to have experience abroad and who loves it.

You can't have a boring stay in Tokyo with the staff of CRCC ASIA at your side. The staff members are willing to help out and make your stay more enjoyable by creating a list of potential, exclusive activities. It has been a one-of-a-kind experience for me, and this has definitely honed my skills for when I start looking for a job. I have faced some difficulties at work and I may not have enjoyed every task they assigned me. However, it is definitely important to live up to your superiors' expectations and surpass your own limit. I found out 'persistence' is the key. Going out with a couple of my friends on the weekends was a fun adventure because we encounter things we usually don't back at home. These excursions I made with my fellow interns are the most fun I ever had during my stay in Tokyo. After the program, we still keep in touch with one another as if the program never ended.

I had the most fun I've ever had during my Tokyo internship. I learned so many valuable things from my internship but also from the interns around me. It was a good lesson in independence since I was so far away from my family. I got to explore so much of the city and try so many new foods. It was a wonderful experience and it really helped boost my confidence. I learned how to overcome my fear of traveling on my own. There was always help and support when I needed it.

My internship threw me in the deep end from the beginning, but I really enjoyed that. It gave me the opportunity to learn many new skills and refine many other skills. I learned how to network and how to work independently. I was in charge of coming up with a lot of my own projects and directing articles as I wanted. It was a lot of fun.

CRCC Asia helped provide me the necessary support and connections to work within Tokyo during my 2 month duration.

The housing was spectacular, clean, and the staff was happy to assist with questions or complaints.
There was more than enough information for someone to comfortably navigate the cultural differences. CRCC provides seminars and books on this topic.
24/7 help line as well as check in messages from CRCC. They would be around housing often to check in and meet with you in person as well. They always seemed to genuinely care about and act on any concerns and often went out of their way for us. I.E. bringing medicine to those who are sick, taking time out of their personal lives to meet with you, introducing you to contacts that may benefit your future.
From interview to post departure, the CRCC staff have been incredibly friendly, helpful, and honest. They really do love their jobs and this greatly benefits the program. The Tokyo Team is absolutely fantastic!

Overall my experience was fantastic and I made many long lasting friendships and gained a lot of new insight into myself and what I want from my career.
