Internships
Akebono's long-standing international internship program is designed to promote enhanced vocational perspectives among students and graduates from around the world, introduce the company to potential new recruits to meet the demands of the company's global expansion, and allow a hands-on learning experience in renowned Japanese business practices.
Long-standing international program: Akebono first began accepting students from outside Japan in 1995, and has hosted interns from all over the world, including the US, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Finland, Spain, Morocco, India and China.
Enhanced vocational perspectives: Interns participate in a variety of fields, including manufacturing, production engineering, purchasing, R&D, sales, corporate brand management and HR.
Potential employment: An internship is the perfect opportunity for Akebono to meet and assess prospective talent to develop and expand its pool of globally capable personnel. It is the ideal way for both parties to be sure of compatibility.
Hands-on learning experience: In addition to a weeklong induction orientation introducing the company, facilities and Japanese corporate culture, interns receive hands-on training in plant safety and lean production, and can participate in Japanese language lessons, various business seminars, and tours of production plants and proving grounds.
Renowned Japanese business practices: Our internship program is an excellent opportunity to learn about and try first-hand Japanese business practices and customs, such as Kaizen, Monozukuri (Craftsmanship), Jidouka and JIT, as well as develop cross-cultural communication skills.
