Free Seminar on the New Employment Training System

Introduction

On July 22, 2026, H-CUBE Law Office will host a complimentary online seminar aimed at employers and HR personnel who employ foreign workers. This event, titled 'Thorough Explanation of the Employment Training System,' will provide clear insights into the upcoming employment training system starting in April 2027. The seminar will be conducted by a lawyer well-versed in corporate law and will last for one hour.

Background of the Employment Training System

Beginning on April 1, 2027, the new Employment Training System will replace the existing Technical Internship Program. This shift was prompted by amendments to immigration laws in June 2024, which introduced a new residency framework that emphasizes both workforce development and retention.

Under this new system, employers can adapt to changing labor needs more effectively, as it allows for 'transfers' under specific conditions, distinguishing it from the previous program. Companies must prepare to redefine their workforce strategies, particularly during peak operational periods.

Passing the threshold to this new system is time-sensitive. It’s essential for employers to not merely comprehend the system's overview but to also refine their internal frameworks, reassess employment contracts, and modify compensation structures accordingly. Early action is key, especially for organizations still grasping the changes they need to implement.
