An event was held locally to support Indonesians who returned to Japan after working as technical interns and others to find employment in their home countries, and both the Japanese and Indonesian governments aimed to utilize the skills they learned to contribute to local development. I would like to receive it.
The event held in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, included people who had worked in fields such as construction and manufacturing in Japan as technical interns, as well as people who had worked as care workers and nurses based on the EPA (Economic Partnership Agreement). Approximately 600 people participated online, including those who worked there.
At the event, 16 Japanese companies and hospitals seeking returnee personnel called on them to make use of the skills and high Japanese language skills they had cultivated in Japan.
According to Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, as of the end of October last year, there were over 120,000 Indonesians working in Japan, making it the 6th largest number by country.
However, after returning home, many people are unable to make use of their experience in Japan, and the challenge is how to connect them with jobs where they can utilize their skills and contribute to the development of their home country.
A man who worked as a technical intern in the construction industry in Nagasaki Prefecture said, ``I think I can put the skills I learned at a Japanese company in Indonesia to good use.''
Yuki Sasaki, who is in charge of the labor field at the Japanese Embassy in Indonesia, said, ``In order for more Indonesians to continue to play an active role in Japan, it is necessary to show returnee workers active in the country.'' ” he said.
