Let's become
a Global Care Worker!
Background of setting up "Care Worker Training Program"
In 2025, estimated gap in the number of nursing in Japan will be more than 500,000.
As Japanese government realized this issue, the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act has been modified in December 2018 and provided a broad outline of one new “Specified Skills” visa status. Japanese government has a plan to recruit 50,000 people from overseas in 5 years from April 2019 to work in nursing industry.
However, what we observed from the current nursing industry is that the system to respond to the rapid acceptance of foreign workers has not been fully formed. It is recognized that the priority is to bring up middle class management workers who have skills to communicate with people whose native language(s) is/are Japanese, English, Chinese or/and Vietnamese, etc.
Considering the circumstances, Musashino University, in April 2020, established a special course to train those who become care worker who can work as middle class leader in facilities, in which staffs have various language backgrounds.
