What is the technical intern training system?
The technical intern training system is a system in which foreigners are accepted at Japanese companies for a certain period of time (up to 5 years) and the skills they acquire while working are transferred to their home country. Through skill development in developing countries, we play an important role in international cooperation and contribution by helping to develop human resources for economic development.

However, if the technical intern trainees currently being accepted move on to their second or third year, new technical intern trainees can be accepted.
