We have been working diligently to generate additional opportunities for students in the Social Sciences, Humanities, Tourism, and Business disciplines, in addition to those from the STEM disciplines, making it more accessible to a wider range of co-op students.

Please note co-op opportunities vary each term depending on employers’ needs.

It takes approximately 30-40 minutes to complete the online application form.

After completing the online application form, students will receive an email with application steps:

2) schedule a meeting (via zoom/in-person) with CJCP staff to go over the online application and conduct a language assessment;
3) have access to job postings; and
4) apply to jobs by the closing date

Please be advised CJCP hiring cycles starts and job postings are closed 6-8 months prior to the start date due to visa processing which may take up to 2-3 months in Japan.

Thank you.
