The program is free, but you need to be prepared to pay for the flight. Accommodation for the two weeks of orientation in Japan is paid by the organizers.

What kind of specialists do you need?

We are not looking for specialists for special positions at the selection stage, what we want is to find  great developers, engineers, analysts, etc., and help them find the right companies where their skills and work will be appreciated.The point is that there are ridiculously few good IT specialists in Japan, and companies are willing to offer interesting job opportunities to foreign applicants!

Is work experience necessary to join the program?

We are looking for skilled IT specialists with either work or internship experience.

Can I expect to work remotely for a Japanese company?

The remote work format is possible, but will be discussed individually. If you are not ready to relocate yet, you can try to discuss with your employer a remote option.

How long will it take me to complete this program?

The full program with Japanese language training will take 6 months. If you already know the language, we will arrange the matching with Japanese IT companies earlier.

Do I have to take Japanese classes at a partner school?

No, you don't have to. We don’t want to restrict you, thus you can take courses up to level N5 at any other school, or even study by yourself and prove your level by completing our test. Be aware though, that if you want to study Japanese at some other schools, you will have to pay for them yourself.

See you in Japan!
