Internships provide critical, first-hand experience for those seeking to understand Japan’s corporate world. Translate your classroom knowledge into practical skills and show potential employers your strengths.
But you’re not just there to show your potential–you’re there to add value.
Our sponsor organizations will determine the scope of your projects as an intern. To achieve your course objectives, you must take initiative and communicate.
As part of the Full-time MBA, GLOBIS offers a summer internship known as the Integrated Learning Program (ILP). Unlike a typical internship, ILP is an academic course that integrates real-world work experience with structured faculty guidance and credits toward graduation.
Here’s how it works:
One week after the start of ILP, you’ll be asked to submit a pre-assignment, such as market research of your host company or a business development pitch. Faculty will mentor you one-on-one to drill down into operations, market research, business plan development, etc.
After a month, you will share your progress with your faculty advisor
Finally, at the end of ILP, you will present your final project to GLOBIS.

Note: The Integrated Learning Program (ILP) is an optional course within the Full-time MBA. Some students choose alternative academic paths, such as entrepreneurship-focused courses, instead of participating in ILP.

For me, the ILP experience was all about growth. Switching from a “student mindset” back into a professional one took some work, and I had to learn how to navigate a new workplace communication style. However, seeing the company’s strategy through an MBA lens helped me understand my purpose there. It even helped me refine my kokorozashi — my personal mission to discover better ways of working within the DevOps and cloud infrastructure fields.
Prime completed his Integrated Learning Program at Panasonic Connect and later joined the company full-time as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer.
