Bridging Japanese Agriculture and Global Talent
An international talent network dedicated to Japanese agriculture
AICS Japan was founded by an international agricultural professional who studied and worked in Japan and developed a firsthand understanding of Japanese agricultural systems and the challenges faced by international talent seeking opportunities in Japan.
International agricultural students, graduates, professionals, and researchers may find it difficult to discover relevant opportunities through Japanese job portals and other information channels. At the same time, Japanese agricultural companies and organizations may not always know where to find qualified international talent, how to communicate with them effectively, or how to present their opportunities to an international audience.
AICS Japan helps bridge these gaps by connecting Japanese agricultural companies and organizations with international talent in agriculture and related fields, both in Japan and around the world. We carefully curate and present opportunities based on information provided by participating organizations, helping international talent discover opportunities relevant to their education, specialization, skills, and experience.
By making opportunities easier to discover and understand, AICS Japan helps international talent save time while giving Japanese agricultural organizations greater visibility among international talent.
AICS Japan does not act as a recruitment or placement agency. Applicants contact participating organizations directly, and each organization manages its own recruitment, selection, contracts, and employment process.
