Introducing the ACCJ Internship Portal

The ACCJ Education Task Force, in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy and the U.S.-Japan Conference on Cultural and Educational Interchange (CULCON), is launching the ACCJ Internship Portal – a pilot platform which posts internship listings from participating  ACCJ member companies.

​
The program is open to all potential interns with a focus on returning Japanese students who have studied in the U.S. as well as American students currently studying in Japan. One of the key goals of the Task Force is to help spread access to internships, encourage young people to study abroad and ultimately to create a healthy business environment in both Japan and the U.S. Click here to learn more about the program or if you are interested in participating.

The 2017 APCAC Asia Pacific Business Summit will be attended by more than 600 business and industry leaders, as well as media, academia, policy experts, ambassadors and top government officials from the U.S., China, and from across 22 economies in Asia Pacific.

Also, mayors/vice mayors of major Chinese cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Dongguan, and Yiwu, are scheduled as speakers.
