Placement Statistics
The program has grown expediently since 1991 with the first group of 11 students departing in 1992. Steady growth was encountered from 1992-1999 and followed by the economic downturn in 1999 and 2000 which paralleled the reduction of student interns going to Japan. Over the last five year period, intern numbers have fluctuated, however with a revised program mandate, interest from Japanese industry, support from the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo and Canadian Government we anticipate renewed program interest in 2009/2010.
