Free Online Seminar to Eliminate Recruitment Mismatches for Indonesian Talent

In response to the alarming labor shortage affecting the food manufacturing and restaurant industries in Japan, Human Global Talent Co., Ltd is hosting a free online seminar titled "Eliminating Recruitment Mismatches: A Local Training and Support System for Indonesian Talent" on January 28, 2026. The seminar will take place from 14:00 to 15:00 (JST) and aims to address the pressing need for skilled labor in these sectors.

Key Objectives of the Seminar

The seminar will shed light on the current recruitment practices for specific-skilled foreign workers, sharing insights into the real-world education and recruitment processes. Attendees will witness the unveiling of practices that have remained largely opaque and will gain a clearer understanding of how to reduce the skills mismatch that exists today.

One of the major topics of the seminar involves a support model that combines AI tools with regular human-led assessments to prevent turnover among newly hired workers. By utilizing these advanced resources, companies can better integrate foreign talent into their workforce, improving overall retention.

Participants will also have the opportunity to hear directly from Indonesian students who are receiving training at local centers in Indonesia, showcasing their journeys and experiences as they prepare for employment in Japan’s demanding work environment.

The Mismatch Dilemma

Japan’s food infrastructure heavily relies on the food manufacturing and restaurant sector, where labor shortages represent an escalating societal issue, affecting not just individual businesses but supply chain stability at large. The increasing implementation of the "Specific Skilled Worker" system has opened the door for foreign talent; however, there exists a notable mismatch between what the system offers and what employers require on the ground.

Many training programs currently focus narrowly on passing language proficiency tests like the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N4 and academic skills assessments rather than equipping prospective workers with essential practical skills such as proper communication, work etiquette, and hygiene management. This gap fails to adequately prepare workers for the realities they will face, leading to significant losses in both recruitment and training costs for companies, as well as obstructing foreign workers from continuing their careers in Japan.

Our Comprehensive Support Program

To tackle these challenges, Human Global Talent has established the "Total Support Program for Specific Skilled Workers" in collaboration with PT. Human Mandiri Indonesia, a branch that focuses on language education and the deployment of Indonesian talent to Japan. This program delivers a comprehensive support model, from practical Japanese language and skills training to employment facilitation and ongoing support for businesses in Japan, thereby addressing both recruitment and educational needs.

The program is distinctive because it does not rely on external brokers but instead focuses on sourcing from Indonesia’s vocational schools (SMK) and trainees with hands-on experience. By maintaining an in-house structure, we ensure that talent is fully prepared to meet the specific demands of Japanese companies.

During the seminar, we will discuss how we successfully reduced educational burdens on employers by 50% thanks to our hands-on training curriculum, alongside unveiling our cutting-edge support system that employs a mix of AI tools and experienced professionals.

A Vision for the Future

As Japan approaches 2026, a transitional period for labor regulations concerning foreign workers, the seminar will offer concrete strategies for securing and utilizing Indonesian skilled labor effectively. The ultimate goal is to foster a sustainable food industry in Japan and significantly contribute to realizing a truly multicultural society.
