Application Phases

WRITTEN APPLICATION Phase

Submit an application through our online form. This will be reviewed by our team. You will be notified within 30 days if you have been selected to proceed to the interview stage.

INTERVIEW Phase

Starting around November 15th

If your written application is successful, you will have a first-stage interview with someone from the Come On Out – Japan team. If your first interview is successful, you will be advanced to a second-stage interview with someone from Toshin, our program sponsor in Japan. There may be several weeks between the first and second interview, as our teams operate independently.

ACCEPTANCE Phase

Dec 31st, 2025 - April 1st, 2026

If you are successful in both interviews, you will be offered a place on the program. Approvals are signed off by the CEO of Toshin directly and may take several weeks for Come On Out – Japan to receive.

ONBOARDING Phase

March 1st–July 11th, 2026

Once you have been accepted, you will be onboarded in the months leading up to the program, which will involve submitting references, performing a background check, and booking flights, amongst other administrative tasks.

ARRIVAL IN JAPAN

July 12th, 2026

Coaches will arrive in Japan on or before July 12th for Program Orientation – and then we're off!
