“Infra” started service in October 2015 as a recruitment medium specializing in long-term paid internships for university students. As of March 1, 2024, the number of registered students has exceeded 100,000, and it is currently a recruitment platform that boasts the top market share in the industry.

Demand for long-term internships increases from both companies and students The number of new students registering for “Infra” is increasing at a rate of over 10,000 every year, and in 2023, 18,000 new students registered, a record high. Due to the spread of AI and changes in the economic environment, the skills required after entering society are changing significantly, and the priorities of university students in their student lives are also changing. Students are increasingly placing more importance on gaining practical experience in business settings and improving their business skills, rather than simply spending time on part-time jobs or club activities.
With the changes mentioned above, the collapse of the lifetime employment system, and the diversification of work styles, students are becoming more conscious of “how to build a career” than “which company to work for” when looking for a job. is moving. For this reason, an increasing number of students are becoming conscious of career development from their first or second year at university, and are developing a vision for their career while gaining practical experience, and the demand for long-term internships is likely to increase.
On the other hand, companies are increasingly focusing on hiring human resources through internships in order to respond to changes in the times, such as shortages of human resources, intensifying competition, and rapid advances in digital technology. Students who participate in long-term internships often have high information sensitivity and skills, and many companies are paying attention to their success in SNS marketing and digital fields in particular. In fact, the number of recruitment matches for companies registered with “Infra” has increased approximately 5 times since 2019, five years ago, and has increased 1.7 times from 2022 to 2023, and companies that are working on long-term internships. is expected to increase further in the future.
Future outlook for long-term internships
As market conditions change and students’ awareness of career development increases, the form and meaning of job hunting and recruitment activities are likely to change significantly. Up until now, it has been common for recruitment activities to assess students’ potential using interviews and entry sheets, but in the future, job hunting and recruitment activities will match students with companies based on their experience and abilities in the business field. will become mainstream. One of these movements is the spread of job-based recruitment in new graduate recruitment.
In a survey conducted by Gakujo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) targeting students graduating in 2024, companies that implement job-based recruitment were asked to “want to pre-enter/I would rather pre-enter”. More than 70% of students responded, with students saying things like “I want to work in an environment where I can make use of my skills and abilities” and “I find job-based recruitment attractive because I have a clear idea of the job I want to do.” In fact, Hitachi, Ltd., a major company, hired 140 new graduates in 2014 through job-type long-term internships.
