Transforming Japanese Language Education

Starting in April 2027, Japan will introduce a new Employment Training System, replacing the current technical intern program. This transition is poised to bring about significant changes in the Japanese language education provided to foreign workers. With this impending modification, there has been a noticeable increase in inquiries from supervising bodies and accepting companies, raising questions about what they need to prepare moving forward.

As a training organization for technical intern supervisors, PMC Co., Ltd. (located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and led by CEO Yoichi Sakai) has received numerous questions regarding the implications of this new Employment Training System. Key points of inquiry include:

• - How will Japanese language education change under the new system?
• - What does the term '100 hours of Japanese language education' entail?
• - What are the roles of certified Japanese language institutions and registered Japanese language teachers?
• - Is online education a viable option?
• - What preparations should supervising organizations and accepting companies undertake now?

In response to these queries, PMC has initiated a free information session aimed at elucidating the key points of the system change and its practical implications. This session will not only cover the system's overview but will also address the pressing question:

"What actions should be taken on the ground?"

From a practical perspective, the event will help supervising organizations and accepting companies organize and comprehend what they need to consider moving forward.

Key Topics Covered in the Information Session:

• - Overview of the Employment Training System (Key Points)
• - The new requirements for Japanese language education
• - Differences between the initial training after arrival and ongoing language education during the employment training period
• - Criteria for Japanese language teachers and their relationship with registered Japanese language instructors
• - Considerations for supervising organizations and accepting companies moving forward

• - Staff and officials from supervising organizations
