EVENT DATE: 1 June 2023
The Japan Foundation, Manila is pleased to announce that it has successfully conducted the “Preparatory Japanese-Language Training for Nurse and Certified Care Worker Candidates” under the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA). The training was held online and partially face to face by two organizations, the Nihongo Center Foundation Inc. (NCF, Manila) and The Japan Foundation, Manila from November 16, 2022 and will soon come to an end on June 1, 2023. The current participants of the 15th batch who will complete the training consist of 15 nurse candidates and 216 certified care worker candidates.
The candidates have obtained the basic knowledge and usage of the Japanese language and deepened their understanding of the Japanese people, society, and culture. They have also been trained for “autonomous learning” – they learned how to plan and review their study and get themselves into the habit of learning, to continue the study beyond the program.
The candidates will undergo another 6-month training of the language after they arrive in Japan; then, they will be assigned to hospitals and nursing homes across the country. Building up their practical experiences there, they will consequently take the national examination for Japan’s nurse or certified care worker.
To mark and celebrate the occasion, a “Closing Ceremony” will be held at 9:00 am on Thursday – 1 June 2023 online (Kindly inform us if you intend to attend. We will share the zoom detail).
