Jerelyn
I like Japan for its culture, place, and people. In technology, Japan is one of the leading countries known for its cutting-edge discoveries. Because of that, I think that I got the mentorship and growth I hoped for.

Patrick
SJIP really helped me negotiate my living arrangements and make my transition as simple as possible. They showed continued interest in my well-being while I was in Japan and checked in with me regularly to provide support.

Amanda
I had already studied in Japan before, but I was still able to experience new things. My work gave me a ticket to see a kabuki play, which I never thought I'd be able to see, and I was really moved by the performance.

Jesse
The ability to have [SJIP] connect [companies] to us and vouch for our character and tell the company what we can offer them...was probably the absolute most valuable thing.

Just by the whole protocol of natural life, doing something repeatedly makes you makes you more comfortable at doing it for sure. So stick to it.

Tadao
My company seemed like a really good base of a company. Since a lot of companies are really investing in AI and IoT, I feel like it's going to be really beneficial that I have this experience.

The company that hired me after my internship was surprisingly friendly. I used to think that all Japanese companies were really strict, but now I know that's not always true.
