Zenken Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has proudly participated in the Human Resource Mobility Forum, organized by the Government of India on July 1, 2026, in New Delhi. This forum aims to connect India's rich pool of young and skilled labor with countries like Japan that are in need of workforce, ensuring a safe and effective linkage.

Overview of the Forum

The Human Resource Mobility Forum was designed to facilitate the connection between India's vast, tech-savvy workforce and countries requiring labor. Key stakeholders at the event included the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), the Ministry of Labour and Employment (MOLE), representatives from the Japanese Embassy in India, JICA India, various private companies, and industry associations. The forum reflects India's commitment towards upskilling its workforce through initiatives like the Skill India Mission, positioning it as a promising source of quality labor for countries like Japan.

At the forum, Zenken's Senior General Manager of Global Education Business, Shinpei Uchida, delivered a presentation outlining Zenken's achievements in welcoming and supporting Indian talent in specified skilled fields. The presentation emphasized key themes:

- Achievements in Receiving Indian Talent: Zenken showcased its successful endeavors in integrating skilled Indian workers into the Japanese labor market, particularly focusing on the specific skills required in various sectors.
