2026 Digital Agency Summer Internship

In a well-lit office space, many people are divided into several round tables to discuss and work. In the back, there is a screen and a person who explains near it, and there are materials and laptops around.

In August 2026, Digital Agency will offer a summer internship for students who are part of a university or postgraduate program.
The content is designed to enable students to gain a bird' s-eye view that takes into account differences from private companies, while learning about the decision making and work structures of administrative organizations and the basic knowledge of the services provided by Digital Agency together with employees in charge of practical affairs. We look forward to receiving applications from students who are motivated.
