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…

I tend to get negative when I have free time, so I'm going to do what I can right now and work out!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, the belt on our 4-metric-ton truck was making a squeaking noise, so I did a little maintenance. Well, it was just a matter of tightening the belt, really. Since our Vietnamese colleague, Dinh, used to be a mechanic, I just gave him a few quick instructions, and he fixed it easily. It was like…

I went to see off the Vietnamese technical interns, but...!?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I went to the airport the other day. I had a flight departing from Nagoya International Airport (Centrair) at 9:00 a.m. on July 10, bound for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Since it was the first flight of the day, I was waiting in front of the check-in counter by 7:30 a.m. I had promised to make my own way to the airport...

Today is the day the technical interns are returning home! But...!?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I told you about one of our trainees who ran away. It was a technical intern who ran away, and I have some thoughts on that. Also, today I’m heading to the airport to see another trainee off lol. This trainee is going back home after one year. The reason is… well, he’s just way too useless…

A technical intern ran away, and here are my thoughts on that

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s finally happened. A technical intern has gone missing! One of them has taken off, lol. She said she needed to go take care of her girlfriend, who had been hospitalized 10 days before payday, and called in sick. She’s been absent without leave ever since. (To be honest, her behavior lately had been a bit suspicious…)

There are various hidden risks associated with hiring technical interns.

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s really muggy, isn’t it…? Once this season is over, summer will be here in a flash, and before we know it, it’ll be the end of the year. I mean, will there even be any work this year?? lol I heard that a few slope stabilization companies have gone out of business… It’s pretty bad that there’s so little work. But…

Reflections on the Current Situation of Technical Intern Trainees

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. After discussing various topics related to technical interns at different companies, I thought I’d write down some of my thoughts. I’ll list the questions I’m often asked by other companies. 1. How many interns are ideal right now? 2. Has anyone run away? 3. Do they actually work? 4. Ma…

Surprisingly, many technical interns end up staying to work instead of returning home, so it’s tough on employers if they don’t have a steady workload!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do the technical interns at your company complete their full three-year term and return home? Or do they extend their stay for an additional two years before returning? Initially, according to the explanation provided by the Technical Intern Association, most were supposed to return after three years…
