Support for Implementation of Vocational Training under the Support System for Job Seekers

The Support System for Job Seekers aims to support job seekers who are ineligible for unemployment benefits under employment insurance and who are deemed by the director of a Hello Work office to require employment support such as vocational training. This support includes providing vocational training,subsidies to make vocational training more accessible, and other employment-related assistance, with the goal of helping job seekers find employment and contributing to the stability of their jobs and lives.

In this system, our organization utilizes the experience and know-how gained from our past vocational training programs, as well as the organizational strength and mobility of our vocational skills development facilities located in all 47 prefectures, to carry out the following tasks:

1. PR to raise awareness of the System
