Internships from a company's perspective

[ishanijerin1]

Probably 80% of internships in Japan
are conducted to "get to know the company."

For this reason, there are many short-term internships lasting 1 to 5 days.
In other words, it can be said to be a tour of the workplace.


I also think that there are many internships that teach self-analysis and presentations to help you with job hunting.

That being said, accepting interns is quite a difficult task, as it requires
coordination between departments, sorting out what students can and cannot do,
and also considering safety.


For this reason , it is true that some small president email database and medium-sized enterprises find it difficult to start accepting long-term interns.

Internships from a student's perspective
There are two common patterns here:
1) Taking short-term internships such as one-day internships at multiple companies as a way to visit the workplace
; 2) Taking an internship for three months or more to quickly acquire technical or sales skills.

In other words, it is
① a means of gathering information (research)
and ② a means of improving technical and business skills (training).

I think it is being used in this way.

By the way, the interns at our company are of type ②. They
are eager to steal skills from their seniors who are working adults.
It's really refreshing to watch them, and I'm impressed.
From the seniors' perspective, managing students is also a valuable experience, right?

On the other hand, in the case of pattern ①, from what I have seen,
time is limited, so
some people do preliminary research in advance, are obsessed with taking notes, and are devoted to gathering information.


Seeing them like that made me think,
"I would be happy if they applied to our company, but was I able to help them in their job search?"
