The Fuji Education and Training Center was established in 1997, utilizing the facilities of the former Asagiri Campus of the Ministry of Construction's Construction College, located in Nehara, Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is a place where new employees of construction companies, from veterans to experienced workers, can receive various kinds of education related to the construction industry, and where they can learn construction knowledge, techniques, and skills in the favorable environment at the western foot of Mt. Fuji.
INTERVIEW
Introduction of the person in charge at Fuji Education and Training Center
Executive Director
Fumiaki Sugai氏
Regarding the Japanese language, culture, and customs
A place for practical training to help people learn.
In addition to providing education to Japanese nationals, our center also offers approximately one month of training, primarily focused on Japanese language learning, to Technical Intern Trainee who have just arrived in Japan. Since these are all people living in Japan for the first time, it also serves as an opportunity for them to learn rules and customs that are taken for granted in Japan. For example, waiting in line to receive food in the cafeteria and not cutting in line. These are common sense things in Japan, but since attitudes differ from country to country, it is necessary to learn them as rules of conduct.
The day begins with the morning meeting.
Raising safety awareness is important.
We place particular emphasis on safety education. Our day at this center begins with a morning meeting. We warm up with radio calisthenics and practice pointing and calling. These are essential for protecting ourselves from danger. Then there's "greeting." It's fundamental to communication and indispensable for working together on-site. We believe that only when all of these elements are combined can we ensure our own safety.
"Manufacturing is about developing people"
I want you to nurture it with your heart.
Foreign nationals come to Japan with a strong desire to work. It is important for Host Companies to fully understand this desire and create an environment where they can be properly nurtured. Acquiring skills and techniques and becoming able to work is a source of joy for the foreign nationals themselves, and naturally, also for Host Companies. We ask that Host Companies nurture them with the steady spirit of "manufacturing is about developing people." The Fuji Education and Training Center is confident that we can be of assistance.
INTERVIEW
Instructor Introduction
Trainee Instructor, Japan Reinforcement Bar Contractors Association (Public Interest Incorporated Association)
Nguyen Tan Gan氏
Basic Japanese language education and
Responsible for providing guidance on daily life.
I work at the Japan Reinforcement Bar Contractors Association, where I am responsible for supervising Technical Intern Trainee and supporting Specified Skilled Worker. At the center, we provide Technical Intern Trainee who have come to Japan with support for about a month, starting with basic Japanese language education, teaching them about work procedures and safety, and helping them with life in Japan.
To avoid any problems at the receiving organization
We even provide support on how to take a bath.
Vietnamese people don't have the custom of bathing with others. They also don't know how to use a washing machine. However, as soon as they leave our center, they will start living in dormitories at their host families. My job is to thoroughly explain Japanese lifestyles so that they don't have any problems.
INTERVIEW
Instructor Introduction
Part-time lecturer, Education and Training Department
Misae Machi氏
Even if you don't understand the language
They will nod if they understand.
I teach the basic knowledge and techniques of Reinforcing bar construction as a part-time lecturer. Since most of the students don't speak the same language, it's often thought to be difficult to teach them, but surprisingly, gestures and facial expressions alone can get the message across. When they understand, they nod their heads in agreement.
Polite, via LINE
Some people send New Year's greetings.
They remember Japanese customs and manners, so everyone shows respect, like stopping in the hallway to greet me. Some even ask for my LINE account, and I've received New Year's greetings via message. It made me really happy.
Trainee's VOICE
Voices of trainees
SON
(Vietnam)
I want to learn cutting-edge technology in Japan.
In Vietnam, the construction industry is not yet a very prominent profession. Therefore, I decided to go to Japan with the hope of learning cutting-edge knowledge and technology and eventually being able to use it to benefit my home country.
Hun
(Vietnam)
I came to understand the importance of safety measures.
I was impressed by Japan's higher level of safety awareness compared to Vietnam. Accidents that occur on site carry the risk of involving not only oneself but also those around you, so we must be careful.
カインさん

I want to go see Mount Fuji and attend festivals!
Japanese is difficult, but now I enjoy learning it. One of the things I want to do in Japan is travel, and I definitely want to go to Mount Fuji. I also want to experience a festival.

My goal is to become Specified Skills!
Life at the center can be tough at times. But as I've become more proficient in Japanese and my work skills, I've gained confidence. My goal now is to become Specified Skills.
