Review

I was already in contact with Meiji Internships last year but I was still hesitating about finalising my program because I wasn't sure I would be confident enough to go abroad on my own. I have never travelled alone so I was lost about my decision. I was so happy and relieved to see that the virtual internship was an option now, giving me the chance to have a peak at life abroad. In Bavaria right now, we can't really go out much, so it's great to have something to do that feels valuable. It kept me busy and positive, and I got many valuable skills. As I had plenty of time, it was the perfect timing for this virtual internship!
Now that I know my Japanese company and that I have friends and colleagues in Japan, I feel 100% confident to go there once everything has calmed down.
One of the biggest advantages of Meiji Internships was the coaching session. It really helped me gain confidence for the interview and the internship. This virtual internship was revolutionary! Last year, I was still hesitating about doing my internship and I was stressing out about meeting with Japanese people, but this experience changed my life and helped me overcome my fears! ^^

Would you recommend this program?
