Proud Partners to Host Free Online Seminar

Date: July 22, 2026
Time: 15:00 - 16:00 (JST)
Format: Online
Cost: Free

Proud Partners, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is set to conduct a complimentary online seminar aimed at stakeholders involved with foreign skilled workers. The seminar, titled “Can We Reduce Support Costs to Zero with In-House Support?”, aims to delve into the themes of in-house registration support and strengthening organizational capabilities.

Background of the Seminar

The initiative arises from the government’s policy for a harmonious society with foreign professionals, especially in light of the regulatory enhancements expected for registered support organizations by April 2027. Holders of the Specified Skilled Worker visa are now subject to mandatory support obligations. This highlights the need for companies to reassess their relationship with registration support organizations and what institutional strength is necessary for fostering long-term employment of these skilled workers.

Proud Partners' Support Achievements
Since the introduction of the Specified Skilled Worker system in 2019, Proud Partners has successfully assisted over 7,841 individuals across various industries, particularly in construction and the food service sector, collaborating with around 2,000 companies. With these experiences, the aim of the seminar is to guide organizations in establishing a practical support system to avoid potential failures.

Focus Areas of the Seminar

The upcoming seminar will concentrate on two critical areas:
1. Correct understanding of the Specified Skilled Worker system, including mandatory support obligations.
2. Establishing the optimal support framework that aligns with corporate management and individual corporate needs.

Additionally, it will address specific steps to internalize support activities that are expected to enhance organizational strength.

Conclusion

Ryo Matsumoto emphasized the growing requirement for companies to reassess their current support frameworks. Many organizations rely heavily on registered support agencies without fully understanding their roles and responsibilities, leading to inconsistencies in service quality and unmet needs. Changes are on the horizon, and this seminar will provide a structured opportunity for companies to evaluate their alignment with the modified system and carve out a robust approach to support their skilled workers.
