Zentern - Amazing Internships in Japan

Zentern found a great company for me to intern at. The managers at this company were organized, supportive, and provided good mentorship. The internship experience helped me grow personally and professionally and was a good first step into a new career field.

Noa is so kind and caring! She gives great career advice. I appreciate that she made time to meet with me in person to answer my career questions and review my resume towards the end of my internship.

It might’ve been nice if Zentern had checked in a little bit more or made their presence more apparent during my stay in Tokyo. I also didn’t meet very many other interns through the cultural events like I had hoped (but the ones I met were fun and nice). This wasn’t always something that could be controlled, but I feel like it wasn’t totally uncontrollable either.

Overall, I had a wonderful time in Japan. I got to do pretty much everything I wanted to do, and I gained so much from my experience. I’m super late with this since my internship was July to September 2023, but thank you for everything, Zentern!

I just finished an amazing 3-month marketing internship in Japan at a famous global company at their Tokyo office and I couldn't have done it without the incredible support from Zentern! Within a few weeks of signing up, they confirmed my placement and were with me every step of the way, from finding the perfect placement to making sure I had everything I needed during my stay. This was my first time in Japan and the whole experience was beyond my expectations.

Regarding my internship, my team was great! I got to work alongside my manager and work on various marketing campaigns and PR events. We had to promote new products and make sure to measure our consumer's response. Even though my company was quite international, I still got to see how business is done in Japan.
I was surprised how the internship in Japan was way more hands-on than internships back home and I really felt part of the team.

One of the best parts of the program was the friends I made through Zentern and their cultural program. We shared so many great moments and experiences together, making my time in Japan even more memorable!!

I am so thankful for the opportunities and support Zentern provided. If you're a university student considering an internship in Japan, I highly recommend Zentern. They truly care about helping interns succeed and have an amazing experience. S

I recently completed a five-month internship in Tokyo, Japan, facilitated by Zentern, and I couldn't be more grateful for their outstanding service. Coming from the Netherlands, I always dreamed of experiencing Japan's unique work culture and exploring the country. Zentern made this dream a reality by helping me find an incredible internship in software engineering, arranging all necessary details for my stay in Tokyo.

Zentern's support was invaluable from start to finish. From the moment I reached out, they were attentive and helpful, ensuring I found a placement that matched my skillset. They helped with everything from visa arrangements to finding accommodation, which made the entire process seamless. The staff was friendly and always available to answer any questions, providing a reassuring presence throughout my stay.

Living and working in Tokyo was an extraordinary experience. The city is vibrant and the people are incredibly kind. My internship allowed me to gain new experiences within software engineering, mainly targeting robotics, and provided hands-on experience. This experience not only enriched my professional skills but also gave me invaluable insights into Japanese work ethics and culture.

Tokyo offers something for everyone, from enjoying traditional Japanese culture and historic buildings to exploring shrines and experiencing modern, futuristic attractions. The food is amazing and surprisingly affordable, adding to the overall experience.

Beyond professional growth, this internship boosted my personal development. Being so far from home on my own significantly enhanced my independence and confidence. Socializing with the Japanese was a rewarding experience, and during my time there, I had the pleasure of meeting many new people and forming meaningful connections. In my last month, I forged a particularly special bond and found myself in a wonderful relationship. This highlighted the incredible opportunities for interpersonal connections that Japan offers.

I highly recommend Zentern to anyone looking to intern in Japan. Their dedication and comprehensive support made my time in Tokyo unforgettable. If you're considering an internship abroad, Zentern is the perfect partner to help you navigate and enjoy the experience fully.

I was hesitant at first, but speaking with Zentern put me at ease as they knew exactly what I was looking for. I chose Zentern as they seemed to be the most familiar with the Japanese market and i wanted to make sure that I got the chance to work with a local agency.
Within a few weeks, they confirmed my internship at a local design firm in Tokyo. My team was truly amazing!! Japan is also a great place for solo travelers and I felt very safe during my stay. The weekend trips with the other interns were a lot of fun! I learned more about Japanese culture and the tea ceremony workshop was one of my favorites. Loved Kamakura too!
Thank you Zentern for this amazing experience! I definitely recommend this program.

Finding an internship suited to my aspirations came easy for Zentern. They walked me through practice interviews and I landed a job quickly. Upon arriving Tokyo, they made sure I had proper accommodation and prepared me to begin working in a Japanese environment. Further, during its duration, I felt secure knowing that they had my back in case of an emergency.

After taking lectures on the Japanese language program, I was soon able to communicate and feel more comfortable getting around the city and ordering at restaurants.

100% recommended.
