Academy curriculum
Pick an industry. Deploy AI inside it.
Three industry verticals where Japan's METI demand is concentrated. Pick one, learn the playbook, deploy inside a host SME.
Industry verticals (paid Academy)
Manufacturing
Predictive maintenance, defect detection, supply-chain forecasting, JIS-compliant documentation. METI ranks manufacturing #1 for 2026 AI demand (45% of subsidised hires).
Finance
Credit modelling, fraud detection, investor reporting, FSA-compliant disclosures. 32% of 2026 METI demand. Japanese-first prompts and bilingual deliverables.
Healthcare
Patient-flow optimisation, MHLW-compliant records, drug-interaction screening, telemedicine triage. 28% of 2026 METI demand. Privacy-first, regulator-aware.
Role tracks (loose pool)
Open to all applicants. Less structure, more flexibility — for interns who already know what they want to build.
Three paths out
Hireable. Freelanceable. Founder-track.
The same internship, three exit paths. Pick the one that matches your visa, your portfolio, and your appetite for risk.
Hireable
Convert your internship into a full-time role with the host SME or another Japanese employer. Engineer/Specialist visa pathway.
~50% of cohort exits this way
Freelanceable
Leave with a portfolio of deployed AI work for one or more Japanese SMEs. Continue freelancing on Engineer/Specialist visa or transition to a Business Manager visa.
~25% of cohort exits this way
Founder-track
Use the internship to validate a Japan-market AI venture, then convert your visa to Startup Visa (1 year) → Business Manager (renewable). Conditional on visa approval, not guaranteed.
Conversion depends on individual circumstances; no public Tokyo Metropolitan transition data exists
Visa outcomes depend on individual circumstances and immigration discretion. APRO maps the pathway and provides documentation support. We don't issue visas — Japanese immigration does.
Single Academy SKU
One transparent fee covers tuition, host placement, weekly mentorship, METI subsidy support for the host, and the founder-bridge programme. No tier upselling.
¥800,000–¥1,000,000
Final fee depends on industry vertical and duration. Pricing locked at offer; subsidies applied separately.
