Embassy of Japan to Host a Job Fair for Returning JPEPA Candidates
2017/7/31
Japan Information and Culture Center (JICC) - Press Release No. 31- 2017
The Embassy of Japan will be holding a job fair for returning Filipino nurses and caregivers on August 23, 2017 in Makati City.
Japan has been accepting Filipino nurse and caregiver candidates based on the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA). Since then, over 700 Filipino nurse and caregiver candidates have already returned to the Philippines. This event will benefit the returnees who didn’t pass the national examinations to be qualified. On the other hand, they have experience working in a hospital or caregiving facility in Japan under direct supervision of Japanese staff, and have learned superior knowledge and skills in this field. They have also acquired basic conversation ability in Japanese and known the Japanese working environment, as they have been educated with basic Japanese through extensive Japanese language training with the total period of 6 to 12 months provided by the Japanese government, and worked in Japan for 3 to 5 years.
Since 2012, the Embassy has held an annual job fair with Japanese companies and medical institutes to help the returning Filipino nurse and caregiver candidates to further utilize their skills and experiences acquired in Japan and to also strengthen the relationship between Japan and the Philippines.
Last year, around 60 JPEPA returnees and 35 companies participated in the job fair. Many Japanese companies in sectors like manufacturing and education-related industries were in need of Japanese-speaking Filipino staff. Through the past job fairs, some returnees were hired as company nurses, Japanese language teachers, interpreters, and office staff. More employer participants from Japanese companies and medical institutes and even more JPEPA returnees are expected this year.
The Embassy is accepting application for participants until August 11, 2017. For further information, please contact 551-5710 local 2117 or email ecosec@ma.mofa.go.jp.
