Foreign Workers in Japan and the Proposed Alternative System to Technical Internship

According to the "Status of Employment of Foreign Nationals" released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of foreign nationals working in Japan as of the end of October 2022 exceeded 1.82 million, an increase of more than 95,000 in one year, a record high.
As for the industrial breakdown of workers, approximately 1.05 million were employed in the manufacturing, wholesale, retail, lodging, food services, and construction industries, and it goes without saying that foreign workers are an indispensable part of the Japanese economy. Foreign technical intern trainees were the bearers of this indispensable labor. According to the Immigration and Immigration Control Agency, the number of technical intern trainees will peak in 2020 at 378,200, which is more than double the number in 2011, when the technical intern training system was launched.
However, the technical internship system has many problems, such as the poor working environment and the financial burden of having to come to Japan with debts, and the system has been under constant review.
Therefore, discussions are currently underway to abolish the technical internship system and introduce a new system starting in 2024.
Key Points of the New System
- The period of stay is reduced from 5 years to 3 years, and to extend the period of stay, you need to change your status to a special skill.
- passing each level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test is required to change jobs after one year of employment.
- Japanese language proficiency, which was not required in the past, will be required under the new system.
Therefore, it will be essential for companies and local governments that accept foreign workers to introduce a system that allows them to learn Japanese without difficulty. In addition to passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a person is required to have a composite set of Japanese language skills, including conversational skills that do not interfere with work duties.
Attain will provide total coordination to help each individual steadily improve their Japanese language skills in light of this situation.

Japanese language study for caregiver trainees (preparation courses for the National Caregiver Examination and the Japanese Language Proficiency Test)

When accepting technical intern trainees for nursing care, a certain level of Japanese language proficiency is required, and thus a specific requirement is imposed on technical intern trainees who provide nursing care to pass an "N3" level test. However, we feel that there is a lack of information that not only provides Japanese language proficiency test materials for technical intern trainees who speak a different language, but also provides clear and specific examples of environmental and cultural differences.
In addition, the students must also learn the language used in the nursing care field and the contents of the preparation for the national examination for care workers, which places a heavy burden on the learners.
Therefore, we have developed a comprehensive Japanese e-Learning program to serve as a bridge for technical intern trainee education.

The e-Learning course materials are available at various levels, allowing those working in the welfare sector to study during their busy work schedule in order to pass the care worker exam. In addition, if you are a company or organization, we can issue an administrator account so that you can check the progress of your learners.

Japanese language materials for nursing care intern trainees are currently under development. For inquiries regarding pricing and availability, please contact us here.
