What is the Specified Skilled Worker system 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 establishment of this system, after completing the Technical Intern Training (ii) class, it is possible to continue to work for a total of five years, and it is now possible to invite Technical Intern Training graduates who have returned to their home countries and directly employ them.
