Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is a caregiver in demand in Japan?

Yes. Japan has a rapidly aging population, leading to a high demand for professional caregivers. Nursing homes, elderly care facilities, and home care services are experiencing a shortage of care workers. Meihoku Training prepares students to fill this demand by providing practical skills, Japanese language training, and guidance on workplace expectations, making graduates highly employable under the SSW – Kaigo visa.

2. What level of Japanese is required?

In caregiving jobs, daily communication with residents and staff is essential. Generally, a Japanese level equivalent to N4 or above is required.

3. I am not confident in my physical strength. Is that okay?

While caregiving can involve physical tasks, learning proper caregiving techniques helps reduce physical strain. Through hands-on training, we teach safe and efficient methods of care.

4. What is important in Japanese caregiving workplaces?

In addition to technical skills, kindness, communication, and teamwork are highly valued. At Meihoku Training, we also teach Japanese caregiving culture and values.

5. Is there any possibility that I will be paid extremely low salary?

Wages are paid in accordance with Japanese labor laws. The minimum wage is guaranteed, and overtime pay should be paid in full as required by law.
