Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
This is a continuation of the previous post.
So, how do Japanese and foreign workers differ in their work styles?
Actually, it hasn't changed at all!
In fact, there’s a phrase that older employees at companies with technical intern trainees often say.
"Maybe we don't need young Japanese people anymore!"
I completely understand how you feel.
The company says, "We want to hire young people from Japan."
However, it's hard to find people to hire.
And now that I have fewer opportunities to interact with young people in Japan, I find myself spending so much time with technical interns that...
That's the kind of thing that comes out.
Plus, it works really well! lol
There are plenty of young people in Japan who work hard, too.
However, this situation has arisen because these older men have had so few opportunities to interact with young people.
However, technical interns work diligently and steadily to earn money.
That really appeals to Japanese middle-aged men!
That's the thing about working steadily! lol
We can't even communicate, so we just keep quiet, lol.
To be honest, I feel like Japanese middle-aged guys are pretty easy to manipulate...
However, there are some people who are careless or lazy.
I think people don't change that much even when their race changes.
In other words, there are good people and there are those who aren't.
When teaching, explain things calmly and slowly.
There is definitely a language barrier.
The subtle nuances unique to Japanese people won't come across!
So, it's important to be straightforward with them.
The tricky part is that it’s very difficult to explain things when opinions differ depending on the circumstances.
"Last time it was this way, but this time it's that way??" The way you use them varies depending on the tool, and
Since it varies depending on the circumstances, it’s difficult to explain using technical terms, so the point doesn’t come across.
However, since they’re motivated, there are often times when, before you know it, they’ve somehow managed to make that call.
In any country, people who are motivated and take the initiative will continue to grow and improve.
On the contrary, please absolutely avoid teaching while angry.
This applies to Japanese people as well: if you’re scolded with words you don’t understand while you’re already confused, you just won’t get it.
And hitting someone is absolutely out of the question!
If an instructor tries to teach while angry, they won’t be able to get the point across—and the student will be so intimidated that they won’t be able to learn!
Please teach them carefully, slowly, and appropriately.
This applies to young Japanese people, too!
There are companies where technical interns don't stay long, and this is one of the reasons why.
Don't you know people who say there are companies where even Japanese employees can't stick it out?
Are technical interns actually learning skills before they return home?
I think there are significant differences depending on the company.
There are some companies that view technical interns as nothing more than errand runners.
That’s why they might end up only learning how to do menial tasks.
There are actually quite a few people, like us, who are taking the lead and working ahead of the Japanese workers on major construction projects.
Technical trainees at such companies handle all on-site operations, including obtaining certifications (such as rigging, mobile crane, and vehicle-mounted construction machinery)
I am involved in all aspects of the business.
That’s why, after just three years, they’ll be a major asset!
That’s exactly why we’re desperate to hire this person.
In the case of Enta, they teach everything from welding to machinery maintenance, so,
I think I’ll be able to start a business when I return to Vietnam.
I really hope you'll start your own business ^^

See you later
