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…
I thought about the importance of one’s environment as seen through crime rates, and who I’m up against every day!

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…
