MIRAI Begins Sending Talent from Tuition-Free Japanese Language Schools in 5 Asian Countries to Japan Across 16 Specified Skilled Fields

■ Providing Education Opportunities to Youth in Underprivileged Environments: A Sustainable Cycle Connecting Self-Reliance in 5 Asian Countries with Japan’s Labor Shortages

MIRAI Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Teru Yasutomi; hereinafter “MIRAI”), which operates education and talent placement services for foreign workers, has officially begun dispatching and supporting the employment of foreign talent with Specified Skilled Worker qualifications from its self-operated Japanese language schools—“MIRAI Japanese Language School”—in five Asian countries: the Philippines, Indonesia, Nepal, Myanmar, and Bangladesh.

This initiative not only contributes to solving the severe labor shortages across various industries in Japan but also represents a sustainable, socially responsible approach to poverty reduction by providing high-quality education completely free of charge to young people in these regions who otherwise lack access to educational and employment opportunities, thereby promoting their self-reliance.

■ Background and Social Significance: Horizontal Expansion of a Tuition-Free Poverty Reduction and Self-Reliance Support Model Across 5 Asian Countries

Japan’s industrial sectors are currently facing an urgent need to expand the acceptance of foreign Specified Skilled Workers due to a declining workforce caused by its super-aging society. Meanwhile, in sending countries across Asia, many young people possess strong motivation to work but are unable to access sufficient education due to economic constraints, forcing them to abandon their career aspirations.

Under its corporate mission of “toward an equal society without international economic disparities,” MIRAI has established a unique educational system that provides full tuition waivers to ambitious youth from underprivileged backgrounds in the Philippines, Indonesia, Nepal, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. Through this program, MIRAI aims to eliminate educational disparities, support youth in achieving economic independence, and steadily cultivate and supply highly skilled, job-ready talent to support local industries in Japan. Going beyond simple talent placement, MIRAI is expanding this “sustainable social creation” model across Asia—one that simultaneously contributes directly to poverty reduction through education and addresses Japan’s social challenges.

■ MIRAI’s Strengths: Education and Support Systems Ensuring High “Retention Rates” and Stable Employment

The most distinctive feature of Specified Skilled Workers graduating from MIRAI’s schools and coming to Japan is their “high retention rate and stable long-term employment” at Japanese companies. This stability is achieved through the following three key factors:

1. Comprehensive Character and Etiquette Education (Multinational Boarding Community)

Beyond language acquisition, students receive thorough instruction in Japanese business etiquette, understanding of work culture, teamwork, and daily life rules. By considering each country’s unique cultural background, MIRAI prevents early resignations caused by “cultural gaps” after arrival in Japan.

2. Strong Purpose and High Motivation Toward “Self-Reliance”

Having passed a rigorous selection process to earn the opportunity of free education through their own efforts, these highly motivated individuals from across Asia demonstrate strong motivation toward employment in Japan and are capable of autonomously engaging in their work.

3. End-to-End Support as a Registered Support Agency (19to-002716)

As a Registered Support Agency, MIRAI provides comprehensive support throughout the entire process—from recruitment and education (school operations in five countries)—to visa processing, company placement in Japan, and post-employment life support. This seamless accompaniment minimizes misalignment between companies and talent, creating a solid foundation for long-term, stable performance.
