　Utilization of Specified Technical Skills II is the Key to Japan's Economic Recovery and Sustainable Growth

As many industries in Japan face a serious shortage of labor, it is essential in the short term to utilize the "specified skills" system to secure the human resources needed. In the long term, it is necessary to promote efforts to "increase the number of children in Japan" and realize a sustainable society.

■Specified Skill System is indispensable as a "short-term manpower shortage countermeasure

In 12 industries where the government has determined that "there are no human resources who want to be", the specified skills system must be utilized,

Stagnation of business

Decrease in sales

Increased burden on existing employees

Increased burden on existing employees. Acceptance of specified skilled foreign nationals is not merely a "labor force replacement," but an important measure directly related to the maintenance and development of the Japanese economy.

In addition, four years from now, in 2025, Japan will be a "super-aging society" with 8 out of 10 workers being 40 years old or older, which will further reduce the number of workers. Therefore, it is necessary to employ foreign workers from developing countries in the "right way.

Skills development for Specified Technical Skills II will support the growth of companies!

Specified Technical Skill No. 2 is a system that allows foreign nationals with more advanced skills and experience to work without any restrictions on their period of stay. This allows companies to secure human resources that can be immediately effective on a long-term basis, and enables foreign workers to lead a stable life.

JobHeart has produced Japan's first Vietnamese to pass the Accommodation Worker 2 exam and the second in the Construction Worker 2 exam. This proves that specified skilled foreigners can grow in Japan and contribute to the development of companies.

■Use the Specified Technical Skills System instead of technical internship and personnel dispatch!

The conventional "technical internship system" and "personnel dispatch system" cannot support the sustainable growth of the Japanese economy.

× The technical internship system tends to be used as cheap labor, contrary to its original purpose, and does not lead to the development of human resources.

× x While the Temporary Staffing System reduces the burden on companies, it lacks worker stability.

This results in a vicious cycle in which workers' wages decrease, consumption declines, and the Japanese economy as a whole deteriorates.

On the other hand, the specified skills system is a mechanism that allows companies to directly hire and train the human resources they need on a long-term basis.

By promoting the upgrading of skills to Specified Technical Skills 2, companies can secure excellent human resources on a long-term basis and ensure stable management.

■If you do not choose a support organization that can train people, your company will not grow.

In order to make the most of the Specified Skill System and "nurture" foreign workers, the support of a reliable registered support organization is essential.

JobHeart has focused not only on recruiting Specified Technical Skills No. 1, but also on supporting skill development to No. 2, and has produced successful No. 2 candidates in the lodging, construction, and other industries.

Furthermore, JobHeart supports the recruitment and training of specified skilled foreigners not only from Vietnam, but also from various other countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Thailand.

When the transition to Specified Technical Skill No. 2 takes place, the benefits of registered support organizations will cease to exist. Nevertheless, JobHeart's top priority is to develop the human resources that are truly needed for the future of Japan.

To change the future, act now!

Japan's economy will not recover unless we abandon the closed-mindedness of the past and take on new challenges.

In the short term, we can solve the shortage of human resources by utilizing specific skills!

In the long term, we must increase the number of Japanese children to create a sustainable society!
