Get ready for japan

Since 1987, the 'Get Ready for Japan' programme (previously called the 'Human Resources Training Programme') has given European companies the knowledge and tools to succeed in Japan. Committed to continuously improving and staying up to date with the latest business trends in Japan, the programme is designed to equip EU business people with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in this exciting market. The programme is divided into two phases and is organised twice a year.

GRF is organised twice yearly:

- in May/June  (application period usually between January-March).

- in October/November (application period usually between June-August).

Here are success stories and case studies from former GRFJ participants and other programmes of the Centre.
