Sending Organization for TITP

Sending Organizations play a crucial role in implementing TITP. They enrol and train youth who are keen on improving technical skill sets through the TITP in Japan and India.

The Sending Organizations select candidates who meet the eligibility criteria as per the requirements of TITP.  The selected candidates are trained in the Japanese language, culture, and business etiquette before they are sent for the internship.

It is necessary for Sending Organizations to prepare the candidates with the requisite training to meet the needs of Japanese businesses.
