Executive Training Programme (ETP) Japan – 2014-15 Cycle Dec. 6, 2013

The European Business Council in Japan (EBC) pleased to announce that recruitment for the 2014-2015 cycle of the EU-funded Executive Training Programme in Japan and Korea (ETP) has started.

ETP is a unique opportunity for European managers and companies to expand their businesses activities in Japan and Korea through business and language training, an internship in a local company, and support for the development of their business plan. The EU funds the entire programme and provides a scholarship throughout for each participant. More specifically, the ETP Japan is a 45-week training programme for European executives. The training consists of a 3-week intensive training course in the UK on the culture, history and civil society of Japan, a 30-week business and language training course run by Waseda University, and a 12-week internship in a Japanese company. The entire training course is funded by the European Commission. In addition, participants receive financial support of €2,200 per month.

A dedicated webinar to explain the ETP will take place on Thursday 5th December 2013 , from 10:00 AM until 11:00 AM CET (18:35-18:50 JST). The webinar is a great opportunity for interested managers and companies to find out more about programme and listen to the testimonial of a successful ETP alumnus. Dr Helen Macnaughtan from SOAS, University of London, will also introduce the ETP Inception module.
