ISI's unique program focused on finding employment in Japan
The “Career Japanese” program (ISI’s original program), which is a specialized career support program for job-seekers, incorporates the ISI Group’s know-how on Japanese language education and job placement support accumulated over many years.
One of the most important qualities that Japanese companies look for in their non-Japanese employees is the ability to communicate clearly and appropriately in Japanese.
This program is designed for individuals who wish to improve their professional Japanese language skills with the goal of contributing to organizations and society in Japan.
What is the Career Japanese Program?
The three skills that companies expect from you
■Japanese language skills
Using ISI’s original method, students will learn Kanji, grammar, reading comprehension, etc. with a focus on conversation from the beginner level in a well-balanced manner. Students will improve their overall Japanese language skills and acquire the ability to communicate and express themselves in Japanese.
■Business skills
Learn the skills needed in various business situations such as answering phone calls, writing emails, meetings, business negotiations, presentations, and so on. We will provide thorough guidance to help you obtain a job offer.
■Social skills
By forming groups with different levels of Japanese and engaging in “task activities (cooperative learning) to be accomplished through cooperation,” students will gain an understanding of different cultures and multiculturalism, along with social skills and decision-making abilities.

Ben Kopf（U.S.A.）
The excellent job placement support gave me confidence.
It was my dream to work in Japan, and I decided to enroll in this school because it offered support for finding a job and a good study of business Japanese and keigo (honorific language). So glad I learned as much as I hoped I would!
At the school, I had many interview practices in Japanese with the teachers, and there was excellent support for my resume. In class, we had to give presentations in front of our classmates, and I think that each time I gave a presentation, I gained more confidence, which was a plus for my job hunting activities. In the future, I would like to do business analysis consulting for Japanese and U.S. companies.

FAQ
-
What makes it different from other Japanese language schools?
-
ISI provides one-stop job placement support. While many other Japanese language schools outsource job placement support to outside companies, ISI provides job placement support by the school’s teachers. The support of teachers who know you well and the peace of mind of being able to ask questions at any time will lead you to better results.
In addition, since ISI employees handle everything from class content review to communication with companies that offer job placement opportunities, ISI is able to accumulate know-how within the school and provide even better job placement support. -
Can I really find a job in Japan?
-
There are many “mechanisms” that make employment possible.
- At an early stage, the school will know your major and the type of work you would like to do, and will start to gather information about the jobs and companies you would like to work for.
- Shortly after enrollment, you will work with your teacher to plan your employment schedule. We will set the required level of Japanese and when you will reach it, so that you can study Japanese and find a job systematically.
- Employment support specialists are involved in the creation of the curriculum. The curriculum is designed to help students develop their business skills while learning Japanese and apply them to their job search activities.
- While many Japanese schools only offer one or two sessions of CV and interview coaching, a two-year course will give you at least four to six in-class sessions and at least three out-of-class sessions to work on your CV and interview. We also offer free individual coaching to students who wish to do so, giving them an unparalleled opportunity to practice their skills.
-
Can I get a job with N3?
-
Although it is possible to find a job, ISI recommends that you acquire a higher level of Japanese language proficiency before finding a job. If your Japanese language skills are low, there are only a limited number of positions available, and it will not be easy to develop your career afterwards.
Since our goal is not to “obtain a job offer” but rather to be active afterwards, our first priority is to help students acquire higher Japanese language skills.
