Young People Blocked from Overseas Employment Due to COVID-19... Government Pledges to "Minimize Damage"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The government will provide overseas employment support services such as online and offline counseling and language education to young people whose visa issuance has been put on hold.
The Ministry of Employment and Labor announced on the 12th that it will minimize the damage to young people facing difficulties in overseas employment due to entry restrictions caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
Currently, due to entry restrictions in some countries including Japan, employment visas for young people hoping to work overseas are being put on hold or delayed. Accordingly, the government is implementing various measures to minimize the damage to young people hoping to work overseas.
First, the situation of visa issuance being put on hold or delayed for young people seeking overseas employment is being closely monitored. The situation is being assessed through various channels such as the training institution K-Move School, 16 overseas K-Move centers, private overseas employment agencies, overseas recruitment companies, and employers.
For those already participating in training (K-Move School), if desired, the overseas employment training service will be extended during the period when visa issuance is on hold to help improve job skills and language abilities.
In addition, an 'Entry Restriction Related Online Grievance Center' will be operated on the overseas employment information network World Job Plus.
Through this, young people whose visas are on hold will be able to receive services including online and offline counseling, including labor consultations in Japan, pre-employment or language education, and linkage to domestic employment.
