For companies that are considering hiring foreign talent, we will provide an easy-to-understand explanation, even for first timers, of the employment situation for foreign talent in Hokkaido, the status of residence that allows them to work, etc.

〇 Settlement Section
We will introduce measures to help foreign workers settle in Japan, including success stories, that could provide hints for resolving issues faced by companies that already employ foreign workers, such as job transfers to major metropolitan areas. After the seminar, we will hold a roundtable discussion with experts on foreign workers from JETRO, JICA, HIECC, the Immigration Services Agency, and other organizations.
