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.
