Fukuoka Prefecture will provide Japanese language classes for technical trainees from the fiscal year of 2022. In the past, these interns had only 1~2 months to learn Japanese before starting their job in Japan, leaving many without adequate opportunities to improve their language skills. The new program will initially begin in Nogata City with a three-year course. Source: NHK
