An intensive hands-on training programme with experienced and specialised trainers, Japanese language teachers, and training materials collected from Japan formally began on Tuesday at Savar, Dhaka.
Jointly organised by Hitech Corporation LLC (Japan) and Heartful Limited (Bangladesh), in collaboration with Trust Technical Training Institute (TTTI), the three-month high-quality training programme has commenced at TTTI’s training centre in Savar, reads a press release.
Nearly one hundred trainees registered in the first batch are participating in this training as part of a long-term plan specifically designed to create opportunities for young Bangladeshis aspiring for high-quality jobs in Japan.
The program was officially inaugurated by Tomohiro Yoshida, Managing Director of Hitech Corporation LLC (Japan) and the Director of Trust Technical Training Institute.
The Japanese expert trainers include Japanese language trainer, Hiromi Yamaguchi, Japanese scaffolding trainer, Sakuta Masaki, Director of Hyperlink Skills Business Cooperative Association, Japan, Luo Gui Zhen, and Brigadier General Md Omar Farooq, Director of Trust Technical Training Institute, spoke at the event.
In his speech, Tomohiro Yoshida said, “Bangladesh has a large number of young people with indomitable willpower and unlimited potential, but due to limited training opportunities by Japanese standards, they have not had much opportunity to develop their skills in Japan, to address this challenge, we the Hi-Tech Corporation Japan and Trust Technical Training Institute, have jointly organised this training.”
Murad Hasan Zenith, Managing Director of Heartful Limited (Bangladesh), delivered the keynote speech highlighting various aspects of Bangladeshi employment opportunities, challenges, and prospects in Japan.
He said,”We are committed to promoting legal and ethical migration routes. Our organisation, ‘Heartful’, will provide comprehensive support, starting from the visa process, to settling in Japan, including bringing family members to Japan.”
He added that one of the main objectives of the training is to address the acute labour shortage in Japan’s construction industry while ensuring better career opportunities for Bangladeshi youth.
“Under the guidance of skilled trainers from Japan, participants will be able to acquire international-standard skills,” he said.
Those who successfully complete the training will have the opportunity to work directly with Japanese companies, ensuring them a guaranteed career path.
Speakers at the event said that the initiative aims to resolve Japan’s labour shortage in the construction sector while opening new avenues for Bangladeshi youth to build promising careers abroad. They described the project as a significant opportunity for both countries.
