For interns
The AI Internship: 4 free weeks, measured weekly
Remote-first project work on APro and Orbweva portfolio projects, with Academy programme access. Perform on the weekly gauge and earn a place on the Shortlist, in front of Tokyo host companies.
What the 4 weeks look like
Real project work inside a clear structure, measured from week one.
Weekly performance gauge
Task completion is tracked on a weekly gauge, so progress is visible to interns and to us. The gauge decides who makes the Shortlist.
Pitch and communication block
A mandatory block on pitching and workplace communication. Presenting work clearly is a core part of the programme, not an optional extra.
Academy programme access
Full access to the Academy's self-paced Claude Code programme for the length of the internship.
Certificate on completion
Complete the 4 weeks and receive a certificate documenting the project delivered and the skills demonstrated.
The Shortlist payoff
Top performers on the weekly gauge enter the Shortlist. It is a curated list of interns, refreshed weekly, surfaced to Tokyo host companies directly and through our talent newsletter.
We are open about how it works: host companies subscribe to the newsletter to meet shortlisted interns, and interns know exactly what earns a place on it.
Tokyo placement is the outcome of shortlisting. It is earned on performance, never promised as part of the internship itself.
The AI Internship is free. Payment never improves internship, Shortlist, or employment prospects.
One ladder, three rungs
A free AI Internship, a monthly Academy subscription, and apprenticeships that Tokyo host companies commission. Every rung is earned, none is promised.
