A brief explanation of the differences, characteristics, and recommendations of the main foreign employment systems: "Specified Skilled Worker" and "Technical Intern Training."
The main systems for hiring foreigners, "Specified Skilled Worker" and "Technical Intern Training," can be confusing in terms of which is better. Let me explain very simply. (Conclusion) If you already have technical intern trainees, then go with Technical Intern Training. If you are starting to hire foreigners, I recommend Specified Skilled Worker. (Reason) The reason is the level of Japanese language proficiency. Specified Skilled Worker requires the ability to engage in daily conversation in Japanese (N4), while Technical Intern Training involves studying, but the Japanese language level varies by individual. This is the biggest difference when starting work. (Specific Examples) In reality, Japanese staff on-site are busy and do not teach foreigners who do not understand Japanese. This is a significant factor in why some foreigners cannot perform their jobs even after several years. (Conclusion) If your goal is not just to hire foreigners but to hire individuals who can do the work, then starting with the Specified Skilled Worker program, which has certain tests, is more reassuring. Additionally, the total cost is lower with Specified Skilled Worker. You can download free materials regarding specific costs below (no registration required). However, there are also disadvantages to Specified Skilled Worker, one of which is the ability to change jobs. I will write about this in another blog.

Smile Link supports companies in enhancing the high added value of their businesses and building their operations. In particular, the efficiency and cost reduction of CAD/CAM have proven to be effective proposals with immediate results! In addition to worsening conditions such as labor shortages and rising material costs, structural changes due to the electrification of vehicles and political risks like tariffs, especially in the United States, have made the business environment increasingly unpredictable. In such circumstances, relying solely on processing based on provided drawings will not change the difficult situation of unreasonable cost reduction demands. It is certain that the companies that will survive moving forward will be those with strong design and development capabilities. First and foremost, it is necessary to reassess CAD/CAM, an important tool for design capabilities. Smile Link will make this proposal.
