He has approached the MUJC with the task of compiling data to develop internship programmes for non-Japanese students who seek to participate in opportunities in Japan.

Should you be interested, please have a read at the following introductory notes below.

A copy of Robert's survey is linked below & Watch their video!

MUJC hopes that our members will be inspired to participate in this amazing opportunity :)

Robert's Letter & Survey:

Hi, my name is Robert and I am from AIESEC, the world’s largest youth run not-for-profit organisation with over 50,000 members operating in over 100 countries. This July, I will be representing AIESEC Melbourne to work with the AIESEC committee at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan. Part of my work will involve helping develop internship opportunities in Japan for non-Japanese students. AIESEC Aoyama Gakuin are really keen to forge a partnership with AIESEC Melbourne and so want to hear about the kind of internships Melbourne University students would be interested in, which is why I need your help! If you are interested in working in Japan and/or immersing yourself in Japanese culture, please help me and AIESEC Aoyama Gakuin by filling out this short survey.

Robert Carreon
