BREXA Academy CrossBorder Bogor: A New Chapter in Indonesia-Japan Collaboration

On February 5, 2026, PT. BREXA Raya Indonesia, a subsidiary of BREXA Holdings, celebrated the opening ceremony of the BREXA Academy CrossBorder Bogor in Bogor, Indonesia. This significant event brought together representatives from various Indonesian government ministries, including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Worker Protection for Migrants, and the Ministry of Labor, alongside 100 stakeholders from local schools in Jakarta and 200 students enrolled at the academy learning the Japanese language.

Purpose and Impact

The BREXA Academy CB Bogor is poised to accommodate up to 1,000 Indonesian students aiming to work in Japan, expanding the total capacity of BREXA's existing ten academies to approximately 3,000 students. With Japan facing an escalating labor shortage due to its declining birthrate and aging population, this initiative addresses a critical structural challenge. Projections indicate a shortage of roughly 6 million workers by 2030, escalating to nearly 10 million by 2040. In this scenario, tapping into the young, motivated workforce from overseas is essential to sustain and enhance Japan’s industrial and social infrastructure.

Since its inception in 2015, BREXA Indonesia has been dedicated to providing Japanese language training and support for Indonesian workers seeking employment in Japan, successfully assisting around 11,000 individuals as of January 2026. The ambitious goal of the organization is to match and educate approximately 40,000 Indonesian workers with Japanese companies by 2030, thereby ensuring a continuous stream of support services encompassing recruitment, education, and post-employment assistance.

Recruitment Initiatives

In its recruiting efforts, BREXA Indonesia collaborates directly with around 200 high schools and universities across the nation. By conducting seminars particularly in rural areas with limited access to information, the organization aspires to present opportunities for Indonesians nationwide to work in Japan. This commitment plays a pivotal role in diminishing intermediary exploitation while enhancing transparency within the industry.

Educational Focus

The hallmark of BREXA Indonesia's educational approach centers on practical conversational skills. The academy employs ten Japanese instructors who emphasize conversation practice with native speakers. Additionally, significant efforts are made to foster cultural understanding and a strong work ethic among students, using proprietary educational materials that reflect the latest educational trends. Furthermore, BREXA Academy CB provides residential facilities and meal services, catering to individuals concerned about financial stability while pursuing work in Japan.

Post-Employment Support

Workforce integration doesn’t end with education; BREXA Indonesia’s sister company, BREXA CrossBorder, offers comprehensive support services for workers post-employment in Japan. With approximately 60 Indonesian staff members fluent in the native language, they provide detailed support to both employees and host companies to ensure smooth transitions.

During the opening ceremony, two graduates shared their hopes and aspirations: Azril, set to depart for Japan in March 2026 for a nursing position, expressed a desire to create smiles by sincerely engaging with residents in care facilities. Dona, preparing for a building cleaning job in February 2026, emphasized her commitment to ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for people through her work.

The BREXA Group embraces a core purpose to break down barriers within all labor markets and provide greater opportunities to a wider audience. Facing one of Indonesia's major challenges—job creation—BREXA remains earnest in its mission, actively contributing to the development of both Indonesia and Japan through this educational endeavor.
