Candidate Caregivers Sent Off To Caregiver Schools in Japan

 

 

 

 

Japanese Ambassador Makoto Katsura led the Send-Off Ceremony for about thirty Filipino Candidate Caregivers bound for caregiver schools in Japan under the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) on the Movement of Natural Persons School Track on 18 September 2009 at the HEDC Building in UP Diliman.

 

Under the school track scheme, Filipino candidate caregivers will take a two- to four-year school course. All candidates will undergo six-month Japanese language training with AOTS. Thereafter, they will enroll in caregiver schools in Japan and will be qualified as certified careworkers upon completion of the course. The candidates are scheduled to leave for Japan on 27 September 2009.

 

JPEPA itself has been effective since December 11, 2008.
