More about JETRO
JETRO internship opportunities are for 3 months to a year (commonly 6
months) in Japan starting around April or May (negotiable). The application
period starts in September and ends in October every year. GT gets the
application information from JETRO in September every year. When it comes
in, we make an announcement for the initial informational meetings. The
announcement is emailed to those who have signed up for these opportunities
in the Internship Event. The announcement is also made here on the ML
Website as well as in Japanese classes. During the informational meeting,
we explain how to apply online and sign up for screening interviews
conducted by Japanese faculty. Applicants must also submit a resume, a
recommendation letter, and transcripts. We then process the applications
and pass them onto JETRO. Students can submit more than one application and
the first-round matching between Japanese companies and students begins.
Note that GT students are competing among applicants from other institutions
in the US. When matches are made, the applicants are notified (typically by
late November or early December) and have a chance to decide to take the
offer or not. If no matching takes place during this period, the applicants
have a choice to go for a second-round matching which is completed by the
end of December. |
