# Launch Your Career with the AEON Store Surabaya Internship Program 2025
Stepping into the professional world requires the right launchpad, and few opportunities match the scale and reputation of a global retail giant. As part of our exciting upcoming expansion into Surabaya, AEON Indonesia is proud to announce the very first batch of our exclusive Internship Program for 2025. This initiative is carefully designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and corporate excellence, offering ambitious individuals a rare glimpse into world-class retail operations.
## The Rich Heritage Behind the Brand
Originating from Japan, AEON Store operates under the esteemed umbrella of PT AEON Indonesia, a regional subsidiary of AEON Co., Ltd. The roots of this retail powerhouse stretch all the way back to 1758, when founder Sozaemon Okada began selling silk fabrics and apparel accessories.
Following strategic post-World War II modernizations and several key retail acquisitions, the unified AEON brand officially emerged in 1989. Today, joining our ecosystem means becoming part of a centuries-old legacy rooted in customer-first values, innovation, and global operational excellence.
