Fukuoka Financial Group (FFG) and World Holdings are partnering with Indonesia’s Mitra Industri vocational schools to train and dispatch skilled workers to Kyushu’s semiconductor supply chain. Combining World Intec’s manufacturing staffing expertise with Fukuoka FG’s business network, the initiative aims to ease labor shortages for small and mid-sized firms. Mitra operates seven technical schools with about 6,500 students, emphasizing Japanese-style manufacturing education. Around 200–300 graduates will be introduced to Kyushu companies annually, with potential expansion to 1,000. The project addresses a projected shortage of up to 1,000 semiconductor workers per year as Kyushu’s chip industry grows around the new TSMC plant. Source: Fukuoka Financial Group
