While the recruitment of foreign talent is progressing due to the expansion of residence status systems such as Specified Skills, Technical Intern Training, and Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services, there are still many voices expressing concerns such as "language barriers," "inability to perform well on-site," and "early turnover." The underlying issue is the gap between Japanese language education focused on exam preparation, such as the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), and the communication skills required in actual workplaces. Situations like "having an N3 level but not being able to convey instructions" should be re-evaluated not just as a language proficiency issue for the individual, but as an organizational challenge that includes the workplace's communication methods and cross-cultural understanding. This seminar will specifically explain what communication skills are necessary for foreign talent to thrive in the workplace, based on the concept of "Work Can Do Japanese" developed and provided by Gakken Nihongo Career School. Additionally, it will introduce key points for fostering retention and empowerment, along with examples from industries such as manufacturing, nursing care, and services, as well as the types of support that companies should implement. ≪Recommended for the following individuals≫ - Personnel responsible for the recruitment and development of foreign talent - HR managers, business owners, and executives - Registered support organizations and foreign talent dispatch companies - Companies facing challenges with the retention and empowerment of foreign employees
