Asia Internship Program - Japan

In 2017, CAS sent our second batch of students to Tokyo for the summer internship program, through which students gain valuable work experience in Japanese settings and earn course credit for completing assignments that help them reflect on their experiences.

Sean Miller, a senior Japanese and Economics major, worked with the US Meat Export Federation’s Tokyo office.

Matthew Scott, a junior in Operations Management with certificates in Global Business and Entrepreneurship, worked at Chiyoda Rubber Company, owned and managed by CU alumnus Kazunori Takato.
