Attention students and recent graduates!

We are launching Come On Out – Japan’s 7th Annual Global English Camp Summer Internship Program and extending our invitation to top Universities and Japanese high school students for a cross-cultural learning experience.

We are currently seeking university students and recent graduates with native level English skills who are passionate about Japanese culture, gaining global experience, and mentoring others. They will be offered the opportunity to come to Japan for five weeks from mid-July to late August, 2022. Although this is an unpaid internship, the sponsor is providing certain expenses for each intern who participates in the six-week program. Airfare, lodging, meals, and transportation subsidies will be provided. The program also offers optional Japanese language classes, Japanese cultural workshops, field trips and an overnight excursion. These additional opportunities are all designed to add cultural enrichment to your summer abroad experience. In the event that travel to Japan is not possible due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will hold the event virtually and interns will be compensated monetarily (as we did in 2020).

This program is different from any other traditional teaching position in Japan. Interns will facilitate English conversations with Japanese high school students on a variety of relevant global topics ranging from discussing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to their personal life missions. Interns will be able to extend mentorship to new students each week as well as form lifelong connections with their fellow interns inside and outside the classroom.

We do not have any Japanese fluency requirements. Come On Out – Japan accepts undergraduates, graduates and recently graduated students as well.

Applications are now open at www.comeonoutjapan.com! If you have additional questions regarding the program, please contact Come on Out – Japan directly at info@comeonoutjapan.com or via the inquiry tab on our website. For more specific information, please check out the following important links.

What is TEFL (Teaching ESL Certification)?

Roythornes is hosting a virtual open day.  It takes place on 8 December between 1pm and 3pm.

Roythornes is a top 150 law firm with a particular strength in land and agriculture, and whilst we usually hold a physical open day, in the current climate we have decided to go virtual for 2021!

The two-hour on-line session aims to give prospective trainees an idea of our firm, the people who work here and the type of work we do.

With panel sessions from current trainees, associates, and partners we’re hoping that it will give a real insight into what makes us tick and encourage students to consider us for their training contract and future careers.

There will be plenty of time for questions and we’ll try to answer them all as honestly as we can!
