The reason I decided to go to Japan was because of a friend who was working there. I heard that Japanese construction technology is high quality and that Japanese people are kind. So I decided to work in Japan too.
I currently live in Kagawa Prefecture. The landscape of rice fields is similar to that of my hometown, Vietnam. It's very quiet and relaxing.
The goal is to pass Grade 1 of the National Trade Skill Test & Certification. And invite your family from Vietnam to live with you in Kagawa Prefecture! (* Once you have obtained the status of residence of Specified Skilled Worker (ii), you can invite your wife and children to Japan and live with them. ）
Luan is a hard worker who is asked to do a variety of tasks.
Hokkaido
Frame working
From Technical Intern Training to Specified Skills, the range of tasks that can be done has increased. I have become able to read blueprints in general. I also want to learn how to write drawings! On my days off, we all go out to play and enjoy Hokkaido. When it comes to studying, the foreman will tell me anything, so I end up asking him all the time, but he will see and evaluate me when I work at the site, so I trust the company and work with peace of mind.
My favorite Japanese foods are yakiniku, sushi, and ramen.
Specified Skills Mr. Ding is trusted by everyone
Kagawa Prefecture
Reinforcing bar construction
Specified Skills, I became more trusted by everyone. Technical Intern Training Unlike when I was alive, I am entrusted with various tasks. I'm happy that I'm needed.
After work, I spend an hour every day studying Japanese using work-related materials and the internet. I also learn a lot from conversations with Japanese craftsmen.
At first, I was surprised at the way Japanese people separate their garbage. But now I try to keep things tidy. I also learn a lot from the way Japanese people work, such as being punctual and reporting even the smallest things.
Mr. Song, with a kind smile, treasures the handmade masks made by his family
Hokkaido
Frame working
In Vietnam, it is natural to respect elders, so when I carried their work tools, they were very happy. At work, I use my brain because I do a lot of calculations. I sometimes think about work after I get home, but my dorm mates teach me, so it's not a problem. Right now, I want to learn more about my job!
I dye my own hair to save money. I treasure the handmade masks my Vietnamese family made for me. My circle of friends has grown and I'm having fun in Sapporo. Even though we're from different countries, we all gather at Sapporo Station.
At work, I am not discriminated against because I am a foreigner, and I am treated the same as Japanese people. I can take time off. The work is the same. So when I work, I feel like I am Japanese at heart.
Working at this company has allowed me to send my child to college. I am truly grateful. So I want to improve my Japanese and my job skills so that I can finish my work by myself.
I've been in contact with my family in the Philippines through Facebook Messenger and video calls. I tell them, "I know you're feeling a little lonely, but Dad is doing his best, so please wait a little longer!"
