Who is this for?
The program is designed mainly for those working in the design industry abroad who are interested in moving to Japan. Students and those working in other industries are welcome to join the program, but will likely face difficulty getting design jobs in Japan with no relevant work experience. PhDs with Japanese language ability may be eligible for research roles with no prior work experience.
Do I need to speak Japanese?
No - the program is provided entirely in English, and the local designers you will be speaking with also speak English. That said, if you are serious about moving to Japan, learning Japanese is a great idea!
Will I get a job?
This program is designed to help you learn more about working in Japan and plan your move. We provide guidance about how to apply for jobs and connect you with companies, but cannot guarantee that you will land a job as a result of the program.
I'm a student - can I still attend?
Yes, please register your interest. Job hunting in Japan is very different for students, so if we receive enough interest from students, we will create a tailor made curriculum for students.
What time are the sessions?
This is currently TBD. We will choose a day/time based on the preferences of waitlist participants. Sessions will be recorded for those unable to join live.
How many people will join?
This is our inaugural program, and we plan to limit it to only 10-15 participants.
Will I learn design skills?
No, this is not a design course. It is for designers to learn how to plan & execute a move to Japan.
How much does it cost?
The pilot program will be available to those who have registered their interest at an affordable cost.
