Just as Tsubomi has many options for extracurricular activities, it also has a great number of apprenticeships and internships with other entities. Various opportunities exist, and school counselors will work with students to find the best fits within these roles. They can vary widely from local apprenticeships internships with qualifying companies or entities within Tsubomi of roughly any size, to apprenticeships and internships in other cities or even off planet.
There are various universal requirements for an internship though, depending on when it is taken. A student may take an apprenticeship or internship upon completion of Lower Secondary/Junior High School, but has a responsibility to continue their Upper Secondary/High School education. It is possible to do so remotely. In cases where this is not possible or needed, permission to omit Upper Secondary/High School education must be obtained from the Department of Education. Often this consists of an evaluation of the student’s existing education, the circumstances behind the request, and comes into play when the student is outside of Tsubomi. A student still within Tsubomi is unlikely to obtain this consent.
A student may also wait to participate in apprenticeships or internships until after their Upper Secondary/High School education is completed, without such restrictions. It is not uncommon for university courses to be remotely taken, however, while acting as an apprentice or intern.
Many local sites, schools, clans, organizations, and government entities have programs in place with Tsubomi, though their requirements and durations may differ. Various laws come into play as well. Some groups, like the SSS, accept service in exchange for a University-level education. Groups which wish to participate often fill out the following form:
==== Company Name ==== Description of company and location, general requirements of participation, other general information === Job Title === Job description and responsibilities, special requirements of participation, typical duration of apprenticeship or internship, required education level and age, other prerequisites for consideration to position, wages if any. === Job Title === Repeat if multiple job descriptions.
