Nine Mizo nurses known for their caring and nursing skills and approach had been chosen to work as specified skilled workers in Japan. According to a Mizoram government official, the nine Mizo nurses were chosen as the first batch to receive Japanese language training in Delhi.
Following completion of the language training course, qualified candidates will be placed in Japan by the Indian government to work as ‘Specified Skilled Workers’ in a variety of fields.
According to the official, more nurse trainees are expected to take advantage of this opportunity to work abroad.
He stated that India and Japan signed a Memorandum of Cooperation in January last year to address Japan’s severe labour shortage by accepting foreign human resources with specific expertise and skill.
To begin the project, training and placement of 50 nursing care workers in Japanese elderly care facilities, hospitals, and other recognised healthcare institutions has been implemented.
The Mizoram government’s Labour, Employment, Skill Development, and Entrepreneurship Department, Mission Foundation Movement, and National Skill Development Corporation worked together to select nine Mizo nurses as the first batch to receive Japanese language training in Delhi.
