Hospitality, Events, Tourism Internships in Tokyo

Boost your development and employability with our immersive skills workshop.

You’ll work with professional coaches and inspirational speakers to build up your skills and core competencies. A typical session will include exercises in leadership, communication, and professional confidence.

Leave this session ready to apply your new knowledge and skills to your internship; and any future endeavours.

While in Tokyo, you’ll have the opportunity to undertake a 1-to-1 career session with a qualified coach. This is a space for you to reflect critically on your career so far; your successes, failures, strengths, and weaknesses.

Of course, your schedule will be filled with events, trips, and meetings; so you can pencil in this session at the right time for you.

Some interns prefer a meeting in the opening days or weeks of their internship. This is a good way of preparing yourself for what awaits you on your program. Alternatively, you might want to take a meeting half-way through your time in Tokyo. This is useful if you’d like a balanced session; focus both on your progress so far and on any improvements you’d like to make going forward.

Lastly, you could take your meeting in the final days of your internship. Here you can think back on your progress and achievements; then set out a roadmap to success after your program ends.

At any point in your program, we’ll also offer you personalized career advice and interview tips. This includes assisting you as you perfect your CV, resume, or LinkedIn profile.

Make use of our online tools and resources to boost your skills and employability.

Located about 100km southwest of Tokyo, head out to Mount Fuji for an amazing day trip. On a clear day you’ll get an extraordinary view of the city; if not, the surrounding vistas and lakes are stunning. Head up to the peak if you’re feeling adventurous; otherwise, base yourself at a lower station and take it all in.
