Take a look at 5 reasons why you should export Japanese workers as engineers
Japanese labor export is one of the topics that many workers are interested in. If you do not know, currently there are 2 ways to go to labor export: trainees and engineers and technicians.
Of course, the engineer category will have stricter standards but bring a relatively good salary. So how is this order different from regular orders? Follow the article below to answer questions right away!
Low cost to Japan
One issue that many people are most concerned about today is the cost of going to work abroad as an engineer. I don't know if the order is expensive compared to the trainee status? Normally, the fee a person has to pay will include papers, visas, air tickets, medical examination costs, professional training costs, and Japanese language training costs. The average fee is about 1500-3000 USD.
After 2 years of being affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, many workers are facing job loss and salary reduction. The trend of enrolling in Japanese master and technician programs has increased. The good news for many people who are intending to join the engineering program to work in Japan, the cost is quite low. The reason is that enterprises and labor export companies support to reduce fees for employees. There are also orders that owe fees, engineers can pay the fee after coming to Japan to work.
High salary for engineer
The purpose of any laborer coming to Japan is to earn income and improve his life. Engineer income in Japan is not fixed but depends on your profession and qualifications. Normally, the starting salary of the engineer category is 180,000 yen/month or more, equivalent to about 36 million VND (the amount is calculated by the hour or by the day depending on the company).
General salary of engineer-class workers
For those who are fluent in Japanese and have high qualifications, the salary is even more attractive. The Japanese labor export program for the engineer category is different from the trainee order, and there is no general salary regulation. This program is by agreement between the employee and the employer. However, there is still a general salary for your reference:
College degree or higher, no experience required, no Japanese language required: About 180,000 yen/month.
No skills, high experience required, but Japanese language requirements are equivalent to N4: Basic salary for the first 1 year contract is about 180,000 - 200,000 yen/month.
Advanced degree (university or higher), working experience over 5 years: Basic salary for the first year contract is usually 200,000 - 220,000 yen/month (if you know Japanese N4 or higher, it is higher).
5 years experience, Japanese language ability N3 or more: Highest salary, ranging from 220,000 to 250,000 yen/month.
Causes of the salary difference?
In particular, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, there was a proposal to increase the regional minimum wage, so the salary for engineers going to Japan also increased. The increase was mainly in regions with lower minimum wages compared to other provinces. Tokyo and Kanagawa are the two places with the highest minimum wages at 1013 yen and 1012 yen per hour, followed by Osaka at 964 yen per hour. The salaries of engineers often differ for the following reasons:
Varies by region: In each region, the salary is different. For cases in big cities and developed economies, this cost will be different for people in provinces and rural areas.
Changes according to the nature of work: Depending on each person's level, experience and ability to communicate in Japanese, there is a difference in salary. People with more experience and advanced degrees, the salary also increases exponentially.
Change by factory salary bracket: Many units pay Japanese workers higher than other foreign workers. However, there are companies that do not want this disparity, there is no distinction. Normally, Japanese units will pay salary according to the capacity and working attitude of each person.
Easy recruitment conditions
Depending on the unit and position you are recruiting for, there are different job requirements. For orders that belong to engineers going to Japan, they usually have to follow standards such as:
Graduated from University, College
To apply, you need to have a college diploma (3-year system) or a university degree with a major relevant to your chosen job in Japan. Intermediate degrees, vocational college degrees cannot join the order. Not only are intermediate degrees, vocational colleges but also many other types of degrees that are not eligible for the Japanese engineering program such as:
Practical engineering degree: The practical engineering degree is a vocational college degree for students in the technology field of a vocational college.
Intermediate degree: Intermediate degree is one level lower than college, the intermediate system usually takes 2 years while the college will study for at least 3 years, so the intermediate degree cannot join the engineering program Japan is.
Vocational college degree: Vocational college is studying to find a job to work, without formal training, mainly practical practice, so there is no opportunity to participate in the Japanese engineering program.
Aptech Degree: An Aptech degree is a certification in the information technology industry. Studying for this degree is quite expensive and takes a minimum of 2.5 years. Aptech degree cannot go to Japan as an engineer. The reason is that Aptech is currently a school established by a foreign organization and the Aptech degree has not been recognized as a college or university degree.
Bachelor of Economics: Many young people graduated from economic schools with majors in accounting, business administration…. However, a bachelor's degree in economics cannot go to Japan as an engineer. Because the technician and engineer program going to Japan is a program for you to learn engineering.
Good healthy
Health is an important factor before any labor export order. You need to be in good health, not suffering from 1 out of 13 forbidden diseases. To ensure health, engineers need to register for a medical examination at a qualified hospital like Dybay.vn. In order to avoid costly expenses and travel time, it is advisable to supplement for the best health, especially in the current epidemic situation.
Japanese communication
Just like Vietnam, depending on work experience, qualifications, and Japanese language ability, the salary of engineers may change. For engineers in Japan, knowing Japanese is essential and you need to have a specific plan to study. You need to be able to communicate in Japanese from N3 or higher to get this engineer order.
Work experience
To go to Japan as an engineer, you need to have a lot of work experience, especially in accordance with trained skills. No matter what other job you do, when you have long enough experience and knowledge to cultivate every day, the money you earn will certainly be worth it.
Some other requirements
Besides the necessary conditions such as experience, ability to communicate in Japanese or cultural level, there are many other things that you need to pay attention to. The Labor Export Center may ask you to wear the prescribed interview clothes. For those who train at the center, there needs to be unity and solidarity to learn together.
