Construction Methods for Technical Intern Trainees (Part 1): Slope Cleaning Work
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do technical interns know what kind of construction work they’re involved in and what exactly they’re doing? I suspect that very few interns have a clear understanding of this. I’m writing this to help them understand it clearly and easily…
The trainee who can avoid the situation for the time being by flying away is a bit sly, but the fact is that she’s also being overprotected.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I feel like there’s been a lot of content about interns lately, lol. That’s because we have so many interns. It’s just a matter of numbers—there’s nothing we can do about it. Still, we’ve got to keep going, so that’s what we’re doing, lol. So, what’s going on…
If a technical intern says, “Please give me ○○○!”, could that be a sign they’re about to run away (go missing)!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. After hearing various things related to the discussion about the Technical Intern Training Organization the other day, I thought, “I have to spread the word about this!” I’ve learned that there’s a recent trend where trainees “run away” (go missing) or drop out of the program early, and there’s a specific sign that often precedes this. Masuko…
In Japan, there are no places left to party hard other than bars!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I keep thinking, “I should write this down—I have to write this down!” but then I forget, and once that moment passes, it slips my mind. Since this happened again, I’m writing it down now. Technical intern trainees—especially the ones from Vietnam—love to party!!!  …
Labor shortages are worsening as technical interns fail interviews at major companies!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I think I wrote about training the other day. We conducted special in-house training as well as other training related to construction work. I imagine there are companies that provide training and others that don’t. Lately, it’s not just at our company—things have been happening on construction sites…
Couldn't we help alleviate the labor shortage by ensuring that trainees and Japanese workers fully understand the significance of construction work and by improving quality?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I had some thoughts after giving a presentation the other day on low-voltage electricity and our work. We conducted special in-house training as well as training on other construction-related topics. Do the craftsmen and technical trainees at your company understand what they’re actually doing? &nbs…
Do your foreign workers have valid visas?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are the foreign workers your company employs the real deal? Huh? You’re probably thinking, “What are you talking about?” I think we Japanese tend to stop paying attention once we’ve accepted someone, but those foreign workers are…
Companies that accept technical interns must obtain various specialized certifications.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Last week, I attended a training course for Technical Internship Program Supervisors. Companies that employ technical interns are required to have this certification. In addition, they must also complete the Technical Internship Instructor Training Course and the Life Skills Instructor Training Course.  …
Should We Hire Foreign Workers Under the "Specified Skilled Worker" Program?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’d like to explore the question: Should companies hire workers under the “Specified Skilled Worker” program—who, after completing their Technical Intern Training program, can change jobs anywhere? Recently, there has been a surge in employment agencies specializing in the Specified Skilled Worker program. Those who have completed their Technical Intern Training and transitioned to the Specified Skilled Worker program are not…
