Foreign Resident Acceptance Manual and Q&A
What is the" Specified Skilled Worker system" that accepts foreigners in the construction field?
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.
We want to hire foreigners because we are short of human resources.
In order for a construction company to accept Specified Skilled Worker, it must be a member of one of the the company which carry out the business of hiring specified skilled workers Japan Association for Construction Human Resources full member organizations or as a supporting member.

Technical Intern Training I want you to stay in life longer
The Specified Skills is not an extension of the Technical Intern Training, but a system that accepts foreign human resources as a necessary labor force for Japan. All companies that accept Specified Skilled Worker must accept Specified Skilled Worker after properly understanding the mechanisms and systems unique to the construction field.
