The Labour Minister met and gave words of encouragement to young Thai technician trainees studying the operations of system automation to continue developing innovation and technology to support the future work in Thailand.
On March 28, 2019, Labour Minister, H.E. Police General Adul Sangsingkeo; Deputy Permanent Secretary of Labour, Mr. Suradej Waleeittikul; Director of the Department of Employment, Mrs. Petcharat Sinauy; and committee, visited Thai workers at Kanemi in Kanagawa province, Japan. The company is in the restaurant business that produces and distributes ready-to-eat sushi sold in supermarkets and convenience stores. At present, there are 1,322 employees, whereby this establishment accepts Thai technical trainees from North East Overseas (Thailand) since March 2013, by partnering with the AI Family Cooperative Society from the Business Matching Seminar in Tokyo in September 2012. The cooperation between JITCO, the Ministry of Labour’s Department of Employment, and Kanemi Company received a total of 932 Thai trainees to work in 15 factories. Currently, the Japanese government has allowed foreign workers to enter the production category for a period of 3 years and continue for 2 years, whereby the workers must pass skills assessments.
