2020 Recruitment of Companies Accepting Paid Internships for International Students (Organizer: International Student Study Kyoto Network)

2020 Recruitment of Companies Accepting Paid Internships for International Students

International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: University Consortium Kyoto)

Since 2016, the International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: Kyoto International Affairs Department, University Consortium) has been offering a paid internship program for international students living in the Kyoto area. In this internship program, we are looking for companies that can accept international students. We are looking forward to receiving applications from Kyoto companies that are interested in hiring international students in the future.

*For more information on the International Student Study Kyoto Network, please refer to https://www.studykyoto.jp/ja/aboutus/ here.
* Flyer for accepting companies

Purpose and Features

This program provides opportunities for international students living in the Kyoto area who are aiming to find employment at Japan companies to deepen their understanding of the business content and attractiveness of companies in the Kyoto area (especially mid-tier enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises) through work experience, and aims to promote their motivation to recruit and find employment through mutual understanding between international students and companies, and to establish international students in the Kyoto area after employment. International students can take responsibility for their work by receiving a certain amount of remuneration for their work. For host companies, there are various benefits such as revitalizing the company by accepting international students, accumulating experience in accepting foreign employees, and PR to international students.

Eligible companies

Companies in the Kyoto area that are interested in hiring international students

* As a general rule, about 40 companies headquartered in the Kyoto area can accept employees at their offices in the Kyoto area.
* We are looking forward to receiving applications from companies that agree with the “Appendix: Ideas that we would like to ask the host companies to agree with”.

* We ask that you consider accepting 1~3 international students per company. If you are not matched with an international student, we do not ask you to accept them unreasonably.

Eligible International Students

Students who are enrolled in a school that is a member of the International Student Study Kyoto Network and are scheduled to graduate or complete the course of their school in March 2022. (Students who wish to graduate or complete the course in March or September 2021 are not excluded.)

* Selection and matching will be conducted by interview.

* Includes those enrolled in vocational schools and those enrolled in Japanese schools who have graduated or completed higher education institutions in their home countries.

* For participating international students, we will check their Japanese language proficiency and motivation to work in Japan, and conduct preliminary training on business etiquette and compliance before dispatching.

[Last year’s results]　Dispatch of 27 international students to 17 host companies

Period of employment

Early August 2020 ~ Late September 2020 (In principle, we will provide you with the opportunity to experience work for about 80 hours (40 hours or more if it is difficult) during the summer vacation period for international students. ）

* For details such as the actual period of employment, such as activities outside the status of residence of international students, please consult with the person in charge of the temporary staffing agency.

Acceptance Criteria

This is a paid internship based on a worker dispatch contract.

Company bears: Dispatch fee (¥1,160 / per hour), student transportation fee (actual cost up to ¥1,000 per day) * Once the dispatched international student is confirmed, a worker dispatch contract will be concluded with the operator (dispatch company) that will outsource the operation of this project. As a result, various procedures such as social insurance are not required at the host company, and the procedures are extremely simple compared to direct employment by the host company.

Flow after applying for participation of the host company

After applying for participation in this program, the program management contractor (temporary staffing company) will proceed with specific administrative procedures. Once the acceptance of international students is confirmed, we will carry out the worker dispatch contract procedure with the management contractor.

(1) The secretariat will inform you of whether or not the host company can participate. (Contact by late May 2020)

(2) Exchange meetings between host companies and international students

You will be asked to answer questions from international students about your business and the work you are in charge of. After the exchange meeting, international students submit their wishes to the secretariat of the company where they will work for the internship.

Date & Time: Saturday, June 6, 2020 12:00~16:00 (tentative)

Venue: Campus Plaza Kyoto 2F Hall

(3) Selection and matching through individual interviews with international students by the secretariat (June 8 ~ late June)
