To alleviate the labor shortages due to an aging population, Japan resorted to creating a Technical Intern Training Program that benefits the neighboring countries, including the Philippines. The chief purpose of this program is not only to address the workforce crisis in Japan but also, to transfer skills and knowledge to the countries with whom they have bilateral agreements.
According to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration or POEA, there are 77 major job categories under the Technical Intern Training Programme or TITP available for Filipino workers in Japan. However, those only Filipinos who qualified as Technical Intern Trainees can benefit from this program. Then, they will undergo training and internship, which will be conducted by the Japan International Training Cooperation Organization or JITCO. Furthermore, Filipino applicants are required to study the Japanese language (Nihongo) and culture, otherwise, he or she will not pass in the qualifying process. Below are the lists of pre-qualifications as a Filipino intern Trainee of JITCO.
To know more about how you can get jobs in Japan even without having a degree, please refer to the article below.
“Work in Japan Without a Degree”
Also, if you want to know why taking the JLPT is essential in getting great opportunities abroad in Japan. Please read the following article.
Pre-Qualifications for Filipino Intern Trainee

- Certified as having an actual training course in Japanese language, work ethics, Japanese cross-culture and traditions

During the last day of the training period, a Japanese employer will select qualified trainees. The selected trainees will report to the office to get the list of requirements. Then, they’ll begin preparing the documents for the Letter Of Recommendation or LOR.
Before they can proceed to Nihongo language training, they must complete all the documents for the preparatory program. After they finished the training, they can start processing the visa, and for the latter part is the processing of Overseas Employment Exit Clearance (OEC).
Here are some in-demand jobs under TITP:
Housekeepers
After the first batch of professional housekeepers has been successfully deployed they continue to train more interns due to the demand. The Japanese government plans to offer housekeeping jobs in some other prefectures in Japan aside from Kanagawa.

To qualify for the training, a Filipino construction worker must possess the following qualifications.
