Japan Recruits 2nd Batch of Nurses, Caregivers
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) announced the start of interview sessions for nurses and caregivers for Japan at the POEA Head Office at Ortigas cor. EDSA, Mandaluyong City. The interview will run from February 1 to February 6.
The Japan International Corporation of Welfare Services (JICWELS), the counterpart agency of the Philippines in the recruitment of nurses and caregivers under the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) will fill in 77 nurse positions and 101 caregivers for deployment to 82 Japanese health and caregiving institutions
The applicants who have been drawn from the online manpower registry system of the POEA were
made to undergo Pre-Employment Orientations Seminars conducted at the POEA last week to ensure their job preparedness for their new life overseas, particularly in letting them realize the nuances of the Japan market, especially in the required language training.
Qualified candidate nurses and caregivers need to complete a six-month Japanese language training
in Japan and undertake on-the-job training at their respective hospitals. Nurses should be able to pass the licensure examination in Japan before they can work as registered nurses and are given three chances to take the licensure examination. Caregivers, on the other hand, are required to complete at least three years on-the-job training before they can take the national examination for caregivers and work in Japan for an indefinite period after passing the examination.
