OPPORTUNITIES FOR JAPANESE STUDENTS?
- For those of you who are studying in a language school, or semmon, you can register for a specific exam in Japan to switch to work without having to wait for the completion of your studies. Specifically, in the last exam, only 2 trainees passed the exam. The remaining 90% of students who pass this type of visa are international students. Because after all, international students have better conditions for learning languages than professional training. (But we do not encourage you to drop out of school, but to complete the program to get a degree will have better conditions)
- Thus, the special skills visa program has opened a new way for international students to switch to a work visa easier than ever. Achieve your goals while studying and staying at work.
- Moreover, according to the results of the first special skills visa exam, in the food service major announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan, out of 460 people who took the exam, the number of people who passed was 347 people, the pass rate reached 75.4%. In which, Vietnamese people account for the largest number of 203 people (95% are international students), followed by China 37 people, Nepal 30 people.
