What is the "specified skilled workers System" that accepts foreigners into the construction sector?

What is the system for specified skilled workers in the construction sector?

On December 14, 2018, the Act amending the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act and the Ministry of Justice Establishment Act (Act No. 102 of 2018) established a new residence status, "Specified Skills." As a result, foreign workers are now able to work in the construction industry, which is suffering from a serious labor shortage.

With the creation of this system, it is now possible for people to continue working for a total of five years after completing Technical Intern Training (ii), etc., and it is also now possible to invite and directly employ people who have completed Technical Intern Training and have returned to their home countries.

We want to hire foreigners because we are short of human resources.

In order for a construction company to employ specified skilled workers, it must be a member of one of the regular member organizations of the Japan Japan Association for Construction Human Resources, which is the company which carry out the business of hiring specified skilled workers specified skills, or it must be a supporting member.

I want the technical intern trainees to stay longer

"Specified Skills" is not an extension of technical training, but a system to accept foreign human resources as a necessary labor force for Japan. All companies that accept specified skilled workers must fully understand the mechanisms and systems unique to the construction industry before accepting specified skilled workers.
