As Japan grapples with a labor shortage, foreign nationals have become a crucial element in sustaining business operations and supporting economic growth. Okamura, whose direct involvement in a venture focusing on residency qualification applications for foreign workers through one visa, will emphasize that addressing these issues requires not just hiring but also retaining skilled workers for sustainable growth.

Proud Partners aims to construct industry standards for the designated skilled labor sector, advocating for the fair and borderless participation of foreign talents in Japanese society. The company supports over 5,700 foreign workers across 126 companies, positioning itself as a leader in human resource support within vital industries such as construction and food services.

During the program, Okamura will provide insights from his experience at one visa, stressing the importance of framing 'foreign labor issues' as pivotal for Japan's future rather than limiting the discussion to mere workforce supply.

OKAMURA's collective expertise, along with the reputable panelists on the show, is expected to enrich discussions, highlighting how businesses can thrive while also effectively integrating foreign professionals into their operations. He believes that working together can bring valuable perspectives that will challenge traditional views on labor and community dynamics in Japan.

The ABEMA program, 'For JAPAN – Manage Japan,' brings together successful business leaders to discuss the pressing issues facing the country, aiming to inspire audiences with practical knowledge and solutions. With the theme focused on foreign labor challenges this December, viewers can expect a detailed exploration of how Japan can leverage its multinational workforce for future prosperity.
