Solutions

Do you need help with the following?

Prob

Technical intern trainees cannot speak Japanese

Soln

Japanese lessons provided in trainees’ native language, and introduction to workers that can speak Japanese

Due to the labour shortage, many companies have employed technical intern trainees. But they are now experiencing problems because the trainees cannot speak Japanese. YOU-I provides Japanese language education for trainees in their native language. In addition to everyday conversation and work-related language, we also teach trainees about Japanese culture and manners. Furthermore, by utilising our overseas partner networks, we can also introduce your company to reliable workers who can already speak Japanese.

Prob

Our company wants to expand overseas, however the language barrier and a lack of local connections prevents this

Soln

Utilise YOU-I’s overseas network and remove the language barrier via YOU-I’s 16-language capability 

Due to the shrinking of domestic markets, the number of businesses wishing to expand overseas is increasing. However, communication with overseas businesses is daunting due to the language barrier and a lack of overseas contacts. Please leave such problems to YOU-I. We can deliver high-quality customised services at a reasonable cost via our trusted overseas partners, with a quick turnaround time. YOU-I interpreters (16 languages) will assist your business with foreign communication, so you can relax and focus on other important things.

Prob

Technical intern trainee staff turnover is too high

Soln

YOU-I’s worker-company matching tours and the creation of win-win relationships

The Specified Skilled Worker System stipulates that a technical intern trainee’s salary must match that of a Japanese worker’s, and that transferring between jobs is possible. Therefore, if working conditions are not satisfactory, trainees can leave. For this reason, confirming worker-company compatibility in advance is now essential in order to decrease the staff turnover rate. YOU-I’s matching tours include visits to your company, sightseeing, and the technical intern training test, helping you to secure motivated staff. Furthermore, YOU-I can also assist in creating a relaxing work environment for both your company and foreign workers, and helping foreign workers live a fulfilling life in Japan.
