We interviewed Mr. Tung and Mr. Tan from Vietnam, who work as Specified Skilled Worker (i), about their work and life in Japan, as well as their future goals.
Mr. Tung
Tan
Construction ManagerIt is true that when we first started accepting employees, we were worried about whether we would get into trouble with Japan employees due to language barriers and differences in culture and lifestyle. I have been groping for how to communicate well and work smoothly. One of the ways to maintain a good relationship with Specified Skills and Technical Intern Training students is to accept people of various nationalities in a balanced manner.
In fact, we have accepted people of various nationalities, including Chinese, Mongolians, Myanmar, and Vietnamese. By accepting a small number of people from different countries at the same time, people from the same country will not stick together with each other, and the distance between you and Japan will be shortened. Also, since they are in a position to leave their hometown to work, they seem to have a strong sense of camaraderie even if they are of different races. Then, the friends of Sugawara Equipment became a "family" that transcended national borders, and they even had a strong spirit of love for the company. Nowadays, there is no barrier between Japan and foreigners, and a strong sense of solidarity has been created as colleagues who work together.
It seems that speaking Japanese too quickly is difficult for people to understand, so we generally try to speak slowly. Also, it seems that it is easier to understand if you speak in simple words, such as "Is this piping okay?" It is important to improve your Japanese level to be successful on site, where there are other contractors. Therefore, our company holds Japanese language classes and conducts online learning once a month. We have a system in place to help people who have already been accepted to take classes overseas to improve their Japanese.
ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE
In the future, in order to operate the construction industry in Japan, where the population is aging and the birthrate is declining, it may become impossible to do so without accepting foreign workers. However, it is understandable that it can be scary to take the first step. So why not visit the site of a company that has actually started accepting foreign workers? If you can see them working for even a day, you will probably understand how hard they work and how well they demonstrate their abilities on site. I would encourage you to try it for yourself.
