“JEMBA
is an experience that keeps on growing. The rigorous curriculum,
the well-balanced faculty, the stimulating interaction between
peers and professors; all these things provided me with a framework
that I still use today. I am very proud to be a JAIMS graduate.” Fermin Taruc Managing Director, Gurango Software President, Philippines Software Industry Association Philippines |

JAIMS provides the Japanese language and culture training to prepare students to work effectively in Japan. Learning Objectives Course content may vary depending on the individual student's proficiency, but students finishing the program will have an understanding of the following:
Language Objectives 300+ hours of language training includes raising proficiency levels in reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills within a business context as well as becoming familiar with corporate and social culture. Prior language training is helpful but not required. You
will be tested and placed in a class according to your proficiency. Business Japanese Program and Culture Intensive Business Japanese Communication courses are aimed at raising proficiency levels in reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills within a business context. Prior language training is helpful but not required. Students are tested and placed in classes according to individual proficiency. Instruction runs concurrently with other courses for the duration of the program. Course content may vary depending on the proficiency and distribution of students in any given year. Capstone Field Experience: Internship in Japan The JEMBA capstone is a three-month internship at a company or organization in Japan. While engaged in the day-to-day operations of an organization in Japan, participants practice Japanese business and communication techniques, and learn how to conduct business. The internship is the definitive experience for JEMBA students, bringing to the forefront the business knowledge, language, and intercultural skills learned in the coursework covered.

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 January, 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.

The following list includes many of the organizations that have hosted JEMBA interns. |
The JAIMS alumni network of graduates around the world regularly provides employment leads via e-mail to graduating students and alumni. Prospective and current students may correspond with alumni who have similar interests and backgrounds, using alumni contact information that is maintained by JAIMS. In addition, employment leads in various countries are also frequently posted by staff, faculty, alumni, and friends of JAIMS who are members of the JAIMS Family Forum, an electronic listserv. With permission, JAIMS makes referrals when contacted by executive recruiting firms and companies interested in graduates. While employment at the student's internship company after graduation is not the objective of the internship, in some cases graduates have been offered employment with their internship companies or with other companies via business contacts established during the internship. Students are encouraged to use the resources of the Shidler College of Business Office of Internships and Career Development, which offers personalized resume assistance and career advice. Job and internship opportunities, both local and international, are also posted by the office via e-mail to graduate business students. The University of Hawai‘i at Manoa's Center for Career Development and Student Employment offers a wide variety of programs and services for students and alumni. This office provides advising and counseling, job skills workshops, job vacancy listings, employer on-campus interviews, a career library, resume editing, and videotaped practice interviews. Students fluent in Japanese can participate in certain recruiting events sponsored by Japanese organizations and held on the U.S. mainland, in Japan, and elsewhere in Asia. For example, Japan-focused MBA students have attended the annual Los Angeles Career Forum co-sponsored by DISCO International, Inc. |
