Gain real-world experience at the crossroads of Czech and Japanese business, culture and diplomacy. Our internship programme is open to university students and recent graduates who want to kick-start their international career – in Czechia, Japan or both.
We’re not a large corporation with a rigid programme. We’re a fast-growing platform where interns work directly with the leadership team on real projects – from day one.
Work alongside diplomats, entrepreneurs and experts from both countries. Build connections that will serve your career for years to come.
No coffee runs. You’ll organise events, draft communications, research market data and contribute to live projects with tangible outcomes.
Develop first-hand understanding of how business works across Czech and Japanese cultures – a rare and highly valued competence.
Our programme is designed to be compatible with Erasmus+, MEXT, university internship grants and other mobility funding schemes.
Work from the Hub’s Czech office and support our European operations:
Join our Japanese operations and gain hands-on experience in one of the world’s most dynamic markets:
3–6 months (flexible, tailored to your academic requirements)
Prague, Ostrava, Osaka or Tokyo – hybrid arrangements possible
English required; Czech or Japanese is a strong advantage
University students (BA/MA) and recent graduates (up to 1 year after graduation)
Unpaid – designed to pair with Erasmus+, MEXT, JASSO or university grants. We’ll help with paperwork.
Formal internship agreement provided, compatible with university requirements for credit recognition
Direct contacts with business leaders, diplomats and professionals across both countries – people who know your work and can vouch for you.
Personalised reference from the Hub’s leadership, documenting your contributions and skills developed during the internship.
Exceptional performers may be invited to continue as Hub collaborators, join our Young Professional membership, or connect with member companies seeking talent.
Email us at internship@czechjapan.org with your CV, a short motivation letter (max 1 page) and your preferred location and dates. No formal cover letter template needed – just tell us why this interests you.
We’ll schedule a 20–30 minute video call to get to know you, discuss your goals and find the best fit within the Hub’s current projects.
Once confirmed, we’ll prepare a formal agreement compatible with your university’s requirements and help with any grant paperwork you need.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. We recommend applying at least 2 months before your preferred start date.
Send us your CV and motivation letter. We accept applications year-round – no deadlines, no bureaucracy. Just real experience at the heart of Czech-Japanese relations.
Whether you're a Czech company eyeing Japan, a Japanese firm exploring Europe, or looking for the right business partner on either side – we're here to help.
