ST Agency Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yukiteru Yasuda; hereinafter 'the Company') is pleased to announce that the cumulative number of specified skilled Myanmar workers it has supported for employment in Japanese companies has exceeded 600.
Currently, Japan continues to face a severe labor shortage, particularly in sectors such as nursing care, hospitality, agriculture, and manufacturing, due to the ongoing decline in birthrate and aging population. Against this backdrop, the Company has specialized in Myanmar talent, known for their diligence, high motivation to work, and pro-Japanese national character, providing consistent support from the recruitment to the retention of specified skilled workers.
We believe that this achievement of surpassing 600 cumulative placements is a result of the trust gained from many Japanese companies, owing to our 'completely free placement fee' business model and our local education system.
■ Reasons why Myanmar talent is chosen and our unparalleled education system
Myanmar talent is highly compatible with the Japanese work environment due to their serious and responsible nature, and their national character that values teamwork. To maximize these characteristics, the Company operates its own Japanese language school in Yangon, Myanmar.

Features of our education and support system
Instructors

Curriculum content
Practical education not only in language but also in Japanese business etiquette and on-site practical skills.

By providing thorough education from talent introduction to entry into Japan, the Company ensures that workers can become immediate assets upon joining and prevents early turnover due to cultural gaps.

■ Cumulative achievement of 600 placements and market superiority
According to data published by the Immigration Services Agency of Japan, there are over 10,000 registered support organizations in Japan. Among them, only a limited number of operators specialize in a specific country and provide continuous talent supply and retention support.
Among the more than 10,000 registered support organizations nationwide, those that have achieved 600 placements from a specific country account for less than 0.1%. This figure proves that the Company boasts a top-class share in Myanmar talent support in Japan and is truly leading the market.
Furthermore, even amidst changes in the social situation in Myanmar, we continue to provide stable talent supply and retention support by building local networks and operating with an emphasis on compliance. These efforts contribute to the realization of stable employment support.
■ 'Total Support' to minimize the burden on hiring companies
Our support goes beyond mere matching. Through the following four pillars, we reduce the burden on companies for recruitment and establish a stable employment environment for foreign talent:
1. Practical curriculum directly linked to work: Workers acquire terminology and actions immediately required in each industry's workplace in advance.
2. Thorough pre-orientation: Deep understanding of Japanese customs and rules is fostered to promote smooth adaptation to local communities and workplaces.
3. Housing support service: We provide consistent support from finding housing, contracting, to post-occupancy support, which forms the foundation of foreign workers' lives in Japan. This significantly reduces the burden on companies for housing arrangements.
4. Ongoing follow-up in native language: Even after joining the company, Myanmar staff conduct regular interviews to resolve concerns and anxieties, maintaining a high retention rate.
■ Future Development
The Company's next milestone is to support 1,000 cumulative placements. Going forward, we plan to further expand the range of supported occupations and develop a 'retention support platform' utilizing digital technology.
We will not only contribute to solving Japan's labor shortage but also contribute to the economic development of both countries by creating an environment where young people from Myanmar can work with peace of mind in Japan and build long-term careers.
■ ST Agency Group Service Overview
We introduce Myanmar nationals with 'Specified Skilled Worker' status with an unprecedented 'completely free placement fee' in the industry. The main specified skilled fields available for introduction are 'nursing care,' 'food service,' and 'hospitality.' A distinctive service is that during the period from talent introduction to entry into Japan, the Company operates its own educational facility (Japanese Language School 'KanDo Japanese Language School') in Yangon, Myanmar, where approximately 30 Japanese instructors, the largest number in Myanmar, provide 'over 600 hours' of education over '4 months' before introducing the talent. After introduction, as a registered support organization, we provide total services that accompany the talent until retention after employment, including all preparations before and after entry and support after starting work.
