Chargés d'affaires Amano with the candidates.
On November 11, 2014, Chargés d'affaires to the Philippines Tetsuro Amano attended the Opening Ceremony of the Preparatory Japanese Language Training for Candidate Nurses and Caregivers bound for Japan at the TESDA Head Office in Taguig City. Other attendees included TESDA Deputy Director General Teodoro C. Pascua.
The collaborative efforts of the governments of Japan and the Philippines made this training possible. The two governments have provided Japanese language instructors and training venues respectively. This endeavor goes beyond their standing commitments in the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) and aims to further assist Filipino candidate nurses and caregivers in passing the Japanese Licensure Examinations after they enter and work in Japan.
A total of 306 Filipino candidates from the 7th Batch of Candidate Nurses and Caregivers to Japan will undergo six months of preparatory training at two different venues. 203 of the candidates will take the training at the Language Skills Institute at TESDA while the remaining 103 candidates will take it at the Nihongo Center Foundation, Inc. They will then depart for Japan in June 2014 and undergo another six months of Japanese language training there.
