TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Japan Association for Construction Human Resources (JAC) admitted that it really hopes for help from workers from neighboring countries, including Indonesia, in overcoming the labor crisis in the country.
"The elderly in Japan are more numerous than the young, which means that there are very few young workers, so we really hope for help from manpower from neighboring countries in particular, one of which is Indonesia," said JAC project head Naoya Shikano, in Jakarta, Wednesday to Antara.
At the Japanese Construction Work Socialization event at the Jakarta State Polytechnic, Naoya said that Japan is actively making various efforts to overcome the labor shortage in their country.
The efforts, he said, are holding socialization of the introduction of internship programs and "Special Skill Worker" (SSW) programs for foreigners, along with their systems and regulations. "As much as possible, it should be known and socialized as much as possible in Indonesia," he added.
Another effort is to explain the actual conditions in Japan, especially in the construction sector, to foreign workers. "So that there is no fear of working in construction in Japan. So if an accident occurs, we and the Japanese government always support even in the worst conditions," he continued.
JAC is a legal entity that plays a role in accepting foreign workers with SSW visas. In addition to providing training, as well as organizing skills tests and job placement for foreigners, JAC also provides guidance and ensures that companies accepting foreign workers maintain a conducive environment.
The socialization event by JAC was attended by dozens of teachers from around 60 Vocational High Schools from the Tangerang, Jakarta, and Depok areas.
Gutser Siburian, a teacher at SMK Tunas Harapan in West Jakarta, who attended the event, hopes that such socialization will continue to be carried out because according to him it is relevant to the abilities of his students at school.
"The event was good. Some of our alumni are already working in Japan and our school plans to include Japanese language lessons to support and improve the abilities of those who will work in Japan," he said.
