AIESEC has 60 years of experience in developing highpotential youth into global minded, responsible leaders.
In the second semester, we welcomed international trainees from Brazil and Georgia. This year, a total of 8 trainees came to the Doshisha Local Committee. We provide opportunities to meet and interact with students from different parts of the world to fulfill every internship and we share each other’s experiences, thoughts, and ideas. For example, we visited places in Kyoto and experienced traditional activities like Ocha. In addition, the number of Japanese students who are willing to challenge to participate in international internship, especially European and African countries are increasing. There will be 10 students leaving Japan soon; therefore, we are planning to have study sessions for each trainee to prepare them to work abroad. Many students participate to be the inbetween of Japan and oversea countries. Each trainee is trying hard to adapt to different cultures and society.
We also have connections with other universities and companies in Japan. In February, we had an event where 200 members and 80 people from companies in Kansai gathered at Doshisha University to choose the best internship in Kansai. We are hoping to cooperate with our partners to create more fascinating and valuable internships.
We were successful in running international internships and cooperating with the society this year. We will work harder to provide opportunities for Japanese and international students so they can head forward to a new year.
