10:37, 2014/07/12
Vietnamese workers will have the chance to work in the construction industry in Japan as the North-East Asian country is recruiting large numbers of builders to replace Chinese labourers.
The information was revealed by Nguyen Gia Liem, Counsellor and head of the Management Board of Vietnamese workers in Japan.
Liem added that Vietnam currently has nearly 20,000 trainees working in 63 different fields in Japan, ranking it second among 15 countries sending guest workers to Japan.
According to a recent survey in Japan, Ihime prefecture needs around 1,000 trainees in seafood processing and garment making, while Ibaraki prefecture desires to receive more Vietnamese trainees. Ibaraki only has 200 Vietnamese trainees among a total of 3,000 foreigners working in the locality.
The Japanese Government plans to expand recruiting trainees as of April 2015 in order to have an additional 70,000 foreign workers in construction.
Currently, 1,600 Vietnamese trainees are currently working in construction, Liem said.
A representative from the Vietnam Aviation Services Co. Ltd said since early this year many Japanese partners asked the company to supply labour forces. Meanwhile the Labor Export-Trading and Tourist Company (SOVILACO) reported that it has sent more than 300 tailors to Japan over the past 3 years.
This year, Vietnam plans to send 11,000 trainees to Japan.
