We are working towards a partnership with the National Youth Service (NYS) to introduce Japanese language and skill training programs within NYS institutions. This initiative aims to prepare students for direct job placement opportunities in Japan, particularly in caregiving and other in-demand sectors.

A formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be signed with Fortis Medical Training College, located in Kerugoya town. This partnership will implement Japanese language instruction and caregiving skills training, followed by guided pathways for students to access employment opportunities in Japan.

We are partnering with CM Training Institute, which will deliver Japanese language and caregiving skill training to its students. Upon completion, qualified students will be referred to CareGate for job placement support and recruitment under the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa program.
