This is Enta.

This is a continuation of the previous post.

Run Away

Technical Interns Who Run Away

As a way to escape,

1. The work is tough

2. Poor workplace environment

3. Bullying

4. That was my intention from the start.

 

I've heard that this is why they run away.

Since you've been in the construction industry from the start, you should know how tough it is.

However, it seems they end up running away for reasons such as feeling that the pay isn't worth it.

It's the same thing in #2, isn't it?

 

Option 3 is completely out of the question. You should consult with the management organization as soon as possible, and

Let's have a discussion with the person who is bullying, the company, and the governing body.

Given their position, technical interns are in a vulnerable position, so in the worst-case scenario, there is a very real possibility they could be fired, but,

Please present evidence to support your claim.

On the contrary, I hope Japanese people will stand up for their colleagues and put an end to this kind of workplace bullying.

Suspicious

There are people who are the most troublesome right from the start—and that’s exactly what they set out to be.

I think that's generally true for people who have been in Japan for about half a year.

Ever since I was in Vietnam, I’ve taken the suspicious stories about bad Vietnamese people in Japan at face value

It seems to be disappearing into the darkness.

And it seems that most of the trainees are tricked into committing crimes.

The Idiot Technical Intern Who Ran Away

This is true, but,

The technical intern who ran away had been connected to the company on Facebook before fleeing, and

I'll post an update on Facebook once I've gotten away.

Then, posts start appearing on social media showing them having fun at their hideout, so

I hear they really get it, lol

On top of that, they’re apparently updating information that reveals their location—like the company name and address—which is pretty funny.

I heard that the company immediately reported the incident to immigration authorities.

I think it’s quite important to stay connected with the social media platforms that technical interns use.

Social Media

Learn About the Social Media Platforms Used by Technical Intern Trainees (Connect)

As mentioned above, it is important to make sure you are connected with the technical interns on the social media platforms they use.

What they're saying is also important.

For example, if you're Vietnamese, it would be "ZALO" or Facebook.

Zalo can be used for work-related communications. It's just like LINE in Japan.

 

It seems that Facebook is popular among Nepalese people.

Also, since Nepalese people speak English, they can use LINE in Japan.

While social media platforms vary from country to country, Facebook seems to be widely used overall.

Driving

Can technical interns drive a car?

Basically, yes, you can!

However, there is a condition: you must stay in that country for at least three months after obtaining your license there.

Provided you meet those requirements, you can switch to a Japanese driver's license.

 

There are written and practical exams.

I think the written exam will be in Japanese or English.

There might be slight differences depending on the prefecture.

In countries where English is widely understood, getting into a major is a breeze, but in other countries, it seems to be surprisingly difficult.

It seems the practical exam is pretty tough, and I'll probably have to take it up to about five times.

That said, there are still a lot of mission vehicles in Asia, so

I get the impression that most people who can drive are good at it.

 

When hiring technical interns, whether or not they have a license might be more important than you’d think.

Well, there is a risk of accidents, but that's true for Japanese people as well under the same conditions.

As long as the company has insurance, there's no problem.


I’ve written about technical intern trainees in the four posts above.

Personally, I don't think being a foreigner makes any difference; I just hope we can work together happily with a smile.

Well, we're both human, so there are times when we get upset, but let's talk it out ^^

When problems arise, they’re usually due to a lack of leadership or poor communication on the part of supervisors or senior colleagues.

Let's get creative! (Using the app)

Since Enta employees work alongside technical interns, they know a lot about their strengths.

They’re just as serious and hardworking as Japanese people. (I know, there are some who make you think, “Well, not everyone is like that…” but that’s true of everyone.)

As fellow Asians, we're exactly the same.

Friends

When it comes to Japanese people who nitpick this and that, it ultimately comes down to their own limitations.

It's simply a matter of that person lacking leadership skills; it's wrong to start badmouthing them or complaining about them by saying things like "we can't communicate."

Since this is such a valuable program, I want them to learn practical skills and go back to their home countries to make a difference!

And I hope Japanese people will treat us with that same spirit—we’re all in this together!

Enta will likely continue to hire technical interns in the future.

We're also actively looking for Japanese people who want to work with such talented technical interns! lol

 

See you later
