IH News Desk
REGIONAL, April 23, 2025: A workshop on job opportunities in Japan organised by the Department of Horticulture, Nagaland University and ARMS incorporation was held at Capital Convention Center in Kohima Wednesday.
Director of Horticulture, Meyasashi, delivering the welcome address at the inaugural session, said," Japan offers a wide range of job opportunities, particularly in sectors like IT, Engineering, Agriculture and teaching English. The IT and tech industry in Japan is known for its high demand for skilled workers. With Japan's rich cultural heritage and diverse tourist attractions, there are opportunities in various hospitality sectors, he added.
Vice President ARMS incorporation, Shibata Nagatoshi, in his speech, said Japan requires a workforce for the industries and there is a shortage of human resources due to the shrinking population of Japan. He added that due to the increase in the aging population of Japan, there is a shortage of long-term healthcare and nursing personnel.
Under the technical intern training program, ARMS incorporation selects excellent candidates and sends them to Japan. The three-year program was officially approved by both the Japanese and Indian Governments, and has already placed more than 350 students in Japan.
Linguistic Head of Department, Nagaland University, Prof Pangersenla Walling in her address said two Memorandums of Understanding were signed between the State Government and Nagaland University (NU) and another between the ARMS incorporation and NU. These MoUs mark the beginning of a three-year collaborative partnership aimed at fostering educational and cultural exchange.
She said the core objective is to position Nagaland as a center for foreign language learning and offer students a broader range of academic opportunities while simultaneously fostering youth employment both domestically and internationally. She mentioned that the world is full of opportunities and encouraged the youth to be ready to learn the skills and do them with dignity and determination.
The technical session will cover topics like an overview of working in Japan, presentation on Kochi and career opportunities, introduction to Agriculture and introduction to company.
