Benefit of TITP MOC for Pakistanis:

Japan is facing serious labor shortage in recent years. Japanese companies are looking for manpower from foreign countries. TITP is very useful way to meet the labor shortage and find talent from foreign countries. Japanese companies and employers can get enough labor through TITP and give them “on job training”, so they can work for them in future after training. In fact, TITP is a training program where trainees get training and employment at same time and of course they get salary besides other facilities.

The 2019 MOC opened doors for Pakistani workers who wished to work in Japan. Especially, it will oped doors for skilled workers like diploma holders and those have vocational and technical certifications and diplomas. TITP doesn’t require High qualification or degree. Pakistani skilled workers will be able to go to Japan under Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) where they can live, work and get training.

Under the 2019 framework, TITP ran up to five years, after which trainees could seek to move to the Specified Skilled Worker system; at that time Pakistanis were not directly included in SSW intake and could only join via TITP. Read Japan New  and Old Work Permit System

How will it work:

At the time of writing, TITP was run under the supervision of Japan’s JITCO (Japan International Trainee & Skilled Worker Cooperation Organization) and OTIT (Organization for Technical Intern Training). Japan has since begun replacing TITP with the Training and Employment (Ikusei Shuro) system. JITCO works with the cooperation of approved foreign sending organization which is responsible to select suitable skilled workers and properly train them before sending to Japan. For Example: Pakistan Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) works as sending organization in case of South Korean Work permits in Pakistan. OEC is responsible to shortlist and select suitable, appropriate workers for South Korea visa. So, OEC is sending organization approved by Pakistani Government as well as by South Korean Government.

In Case of TITP Japan, NAVTTC (National Vocational & Technical Training Commission) is chosen as designated sending organization in Pakistan. NAVTTC is Pakistan’s government institution. NAVTTC will  announce in newspapers and  through  its website when it is ready to work for TITP. Then candidates will be able to apply. NAVTTC will select suitable skilled workers according to the requirements of Japanese companies and employers.
