Supervising organization permission
Updated: July 2025, 10
In order to "develop human resources" to play a role in the economic development of developing countries, the Technical Intern Training Program has been established as an opportunity for foreigners to acquire advanced skills and techniques from developed countries.
There are broadly two types of foreign technical intern training programs. They are the ``independent company type'' and the ``organizational supervision type.'' Among the existing systems, the single-company type had relatively few problems, but the group supervision type had many problems such as unpaid wages and assault.
Due to this background, on November 28, 11, a new *Technical Intern Training Act was enacted.Enforced on November 29, 11it was done. As a result, permission is now required from the supervising organization.
*Act on corrective implementation of technical intern training for foreigners and protection of technical intern trainees
