Studying and working overseas can be an eye-opening experience, so a group of Japanese entrepreneurs who operate businesses abroad are looking to give younger generations more opportunities to go international.
The World Association of Overseas Japanese Entrepreneurs, which has about 140 members, plans to reach out to young people by providing internship experiences.
"When thinking about getting young Japanese people to go overseas, we thought we could contribute with internships. The WAOJE has its bases in many countries," said Keiichiro Sako, who heads the organization, at a news conference in Tokyo on Thursday.
