The Career Japanese program — ISI’s original career-focused course — combines our expertise in Japanese language education with years of job placement support.
Japanese employers value non-Japanese talent who can communicate clearly and appropriately in professional settings.

This program is ideal for anyone who wants to boost their business Japanese proficiency and professional skills, with the goal of contributing to Japanese companies and society.

Business Skills

Learn how to handle real workplace tasks: phone calls, professional emails, meetings, negotiations, presentations, and more. Gain the know-how to secure a job offer in Japan.

Social Skills

Work in diverse groups, collaborate to achieve goals, and develop cultural understanding. Strengthen your decision-making and adaptability — key qualities in today’s global workplace.

The excellent job placement support gave me confidence.

It was my dream to work in Japan, and ISI helped me make it happen.
I chose this school for its strong job placement support and in-depth training in business Japanese and keigo (honorific language) — and I learned even more than I hoped!

Through mock interviews, resume guidance, and presentations in front of classmates, I built the confidence I needed for my job search.
Now, I’m aiming to work in Business Analysis Consulting for both Japanese and U.S. companies.

Choose between our two Tokyo campuses — Takadanobaba or Shibuya — the perfect starting point for building your career in Japan.

What makes it different from other Japanese language schools?

We offer one-stop, in-house job placement support — no outsourcing to outside agencies.
Our teachers, who know you personally, guide you through everything from class learning to company communication, ensuring faster answers and better results.

Can I really find a job in Japan?

Yes — our program is designed to make it possible.

  • We learn your career goals early and gather matching job information.
  • Together, we set your Japanese proficiency target and plan your schedule.
  • Specialists design the curriculum to build both language and business skills.
  • You get far more CV and interview practice than typical schools, plus free one-on-one coaching.

Can I get a job with N3?

It’s possible, but we recommend aiming higher.
With lower Japanese skills, job options are limited and career growth will be harder.
Our first priority is helping you achieve higher Japanese proficiency so you can thrive long-term in Japan.
