Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's time to say goodbye!
Three members of Entas's second cohort of technical intern trainees have returned to Vietnam.
Thank you for your hard work over the past three years.
The second cohort consisted of six members from Enta and Izumi, but three from Enta returned to their home countries, leaving one from Izumi; one returned to their home country, one changed jobs, and one remained.
It was only three years, but they worked incredibly hard and were a great help to me.
The construction industry simply couldn't function without technical interns and foreign workers.
I can't go on like this.
I can say this with certainty.
I think regulations will likely be further relaxed in the future, making it easier for foreign workers to enter the country.
Going forward, technical interns will enter Japan on Specific Skills visas.
If at least three months have passed since you obtained your driver's license in your home country, you can convert it to a Japanese license after taking the exam in Japan. (This is still the case.)
If that happens, it'll basically be a workplace full of foreigners, lol.
Well, that's just the way things are these days.
After all, we have no choice but to adapt as times change.
A question I often get asked is, “What about people from XX?”
People ask me that.
Right now, we have Vietnamese and Nepalese employees, but to be honest, there’s almost no difference between them.
Just like with Japanese people, some are careless and some aren't—it's exactly the same.
Even if there are cultural differences, when it comes to human nature, they’re within the margin of error.
If we, as colleagues working together, take their concerns seriously, they will respond in kind.
I hope we can get along well while respecting each other.
I'm also looking forward to the seven new members joining us in May.
There are goodbyes, and there are also new beginnings.
I hope we can share many happy days together.
See you later.
