Tokyo Internships with Beyond Academy

My internship experience in Tokyo through Beyond Academy was truly unforgettable. From the moment I applied, the Beyond Academy team was supportive, organized, and attentive to every detail. They helped match me with an internship that aligned with my interests and career goals, and the placement ended up being a valuable learning opportunity. Living and working in Tokyo was something I’ve been wanting to do for a while and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Beyond Academy my transition was very smooth. They arranged comfortable accommodations, offered cultural guidance, and hosted events that allowed me to meet my now very close friends and explore the city together. The friends I’ve met here have become very important people in my life and I never felt lost or alone, as there was always someone available to help. My host company trusted me with real responsibilities, and encouraged me to contribute my ideas, while also not putting too much pressure on me. Through this internship, I gained practical experience and improved my professional skills. It’s an experience that has broadened my perspective and made me more confident as a young professional. Beyond Academy also organized fun activities and cultural excursions for every week that made the overall program feel well-rounded and thoughtfully designed. Other than the set activities, the events always vary, making every week different and exciting. Some of my favorite memories were the Tea Ceremony in Kimonos, TeamLabs and an all you can eat cafe! I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and would highly recommend Beyond Academy to anyone looking to gain international work experience, grow personally and professionally, and explore one of the most fascinating cities in the world.

I completed a 2 month internship at a tech company in Tokyo through Beyond Academy. At work, I created digital assets that will be used in an app currently and in the future! This has definitely provided me with a great boost to my resume which will help me stand out for future jobs. The weekly events all around Tokyo and outside of Tokyo were so fun and left me with so many new friends. The coordinators were also so kind and supportive of all of us as well. I would genuinely recommend Beyond Academy for anyone looking to experience daily life and work in another country!

I completed an internship with Beyond Academy this month in Tokyo. I was there for 6 weeks. While my host company maybe wasn’t the best fit for me, I am grateful for the overall experience, and the community team in Tokyo did everything they could to make the experience good for everyone. The only thing I will say is that you will not be guaranteed accommodation with other Beyond Academy interns - so it might be harder to make friends if so. Overall good experience.
