Caregivers and nurses eyeing positions in Japan have started to troop the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), a television news report said on Tuesday.
Reporter Maki Pulido said in GMA news 24 Oras that Japan is need of 200 staff nurses and 300 caregivers.
The jobs became available because of the economic partnership agreement signed by the Philippine government and Japanese official last year which was called “JPEPA."
But Pulido in her report said that not all caregivers or nurses are qualified for the positions.
She cited the case of Juvy Mitra, a resident of Pampanga, who went all the way to POEA office in Ortigas, Pasig.
She learned that her six-month caregiving course was not enough to get the job in Japan.
Mitra was informed that one the qualifications of an applicant for a caregiver is a holder of a four-year college course.
“Biruin mo six months din akong nag-aral ng academic course, tapos nag-OJT (on the job training) rin ako sa hospital… akala ko chance ko na na makabalik ng Japan tapos eto nga, very disappointed ako ganoon ang sinabi nila na kailangan daw po four years (course) graduate," said Mitra.
Meanwhile, John Pineda, who is a registered nurse, failed to get the position as staff nurse in Japan and instead qualified to become a caregiver.
Pulido said the position of staff nurse needs three years experience in its field.
“Hindi naman magiging mahirap sa posisyon ko kasi in-line pa rin naman ng aming pagiging nurse ang pagiging caregiver," Pineda explained.
The report said that the first batch of qualified applicants may leave the country starting April. But qualified applicants must still undergo a six-month training to learn the Japanese language Nihonggo.
