The JEMBA capstone is a three-month internship at a company or organization in Japan. As interns, participants practice Japanese business and communication techniques and learn how to conduct business, Asian-style.

The Japan-focused internship arrangements begin during the first semester in Hawai'i with an orientation by the JAIMS staff to assess each student's area of interest (for example, banking, manufacturing, trade, marketing, or finance).

The JEMBA internship is under the supervision of Dr. Ikujiro Nonaka, professor of the Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy, Hitotsubashi University with administrative support provided by the JAIMS Japan Office in Tokyo.

  

Students work full-time at their host organizations, engaged in day-to-day operations to the extent possible, and periodically consult with their internship supervisor. In April, students are required to submit a final report and give an oral presentation about their internship. The internship position is unpaid, and the student bears all expenses incurred (housing, meals, and transportation).

While the JEMBA program cannot guarantee a particular type of internship or organization, every effort is made to match students with internships reflecting their preferences.
