Aoyama Professionals
Tokyo isn't where you take an internship.It's where you graduate as an AI-native operator.
Three paths out, one platform in: hireable, freelanceable, founder-track.
What an APRO internship actually is
Four concrete claims, each provable in week one
Industry-tailored AI, deployed
Pick manufacturing, finance, or healthcare. Build AI capability scoped to that industry, deployed inside a real Japanese host. No simulation, no generic bootcamp.
Founder-track via visa switch
On-ramp to freelancing or starting a company. Conditional on Startup Visa or Engineer/Specialist visa conversion. Provable, not guaranteed.
METI subsidy partner
Host companies can stack MHLW + METI subsidies per intern. Eligibility depends on visa class and SME status; we confirm with Hello Work before any subsidy promise.
