Dear Faculty & Staff:
Do you know a student who would like to complete an internship in
Japan? If so, please read on!!!
I do not typically work with internships abroad, but this looks like a
great opportunity and I'd like to make sure that a UW Oshkosh student
gets a shot at this! UW Oshkosh has had a relationship with Guy
Healy, Japan, a culture-exchange consulting agency based in Nagasaki and
Fukuoka, Japan, for over 15 years. Guy Healy, Japan will offer
internships for the first time this coming fall 2005.
Information on the internship opportunity is provided at
- Internship Announcement:
http://www.uwosh.edu/oie/pdf/GHJ1.pdf
- Internship Details:
http://www.uwosh.edu/oie/pdf/GHJ2.pdf
- Application Form:
http://www.uwosh.edu/oie/pdf/GHJ3.pdf
This coming fall semester, Guy Healy, Japan will be offering 2-3
internship opportunities, which he is advertising through study abroad
offices on three campuses. Our students may apply but will need a
strong recommendation from UW Oshkosh before being considered. If
you have a student you would like to recommend, please share this
information. Students with interests and skills in one or more of
the following areas will be considered:
- website design & implementation
- English-learning curriculum design
- program recruiting (and marketing)
- sprots program development & management
- supply chain management
- support for English teachers in Japan
- designing, setting up and conducting seminars on GHJ programs
- conducting TOEFL seminars
Interns also need to have prior experience with kids and an interest
in learning the Japanese language. Prior experience tutoring or
conversing with non-native English speakers would be a plus.
Students should know that this is not a paid internship. In
exchange for the work interns do in Japan for GHJ, GHJ will cover
expenses such as airfare, accommodations and two meals per day.
That said, most internship programs run by universities as part of an
academic program charge students a fee to participate and be placed, with
no compensation by the company. There are paid work opportunities
for recent U.S. graduates in Japan through competitive placement
organizations. UW Oshkosh will not charge a fee for internship
placement
Guy Healy, Japan would prefer that Oshkosh students who have not
graduated be enrolled for internship credit at UW Oshkosh if
possible. UW Oshkosh students may enroll for Interdisciplinary
Studies 399, provided a complete project proposal is worked out in
advance. Other course enrollment options may also be
available to students. Students who will graduate in May will not
need to enroll in any course at UW Oshkosh. Students enrolled for
credit will need to pay tuition at UW Oshkosh.
- Interdisciplinary Studies 399 3 units (crs.)
- L&S Career Internship
- Students will apply academic knowledge and skills acquired in the
major to a direct work experience that will help them to develop an
understanding of the basic skills or principles required for an
entry-level professional position following graduation. The internship
experience will also increase the student's confidence/skills in
effectively pursuing his/her professional career in the business, health,
social services, science, and other areas. Students will work under
direct supervision of a professional who will provide evaluations.
Students may only take this course once. Prerequisite: Junior or senior
standing. GPA and units (crs.) toward a major within the department will
be negotiated by the department of Career Services. Pass/Fail course.
(1+4)
The application deadline is May 2 (I apologize for the late notice,
but we just received this information late last week and had to work out
a few issues!). Students can bring completed applications to the
Office of International Education in Dempsey 337 anytime before that
date. If you know that a student will apply, please email me with
the student's name and email address so that I can follow up, if
necessary.
