Japan offers more job opportunities

The Japanese Embassy in Colombo yesterday (13) announced that a new skills test in the field of Building Cleaning would be introduced in July 2024 in Sri Lanka for those seeking jobs in Japan as specified skilled workers.

The Embassy said that together with the existing skills tests in Nursing Care, Food Service and Agriculture that have been in place since 2022, as well as recently added Construction, Airport Ground Handling and Accommodation Industry, skills tests would be available in seven fields in Sri Lanka with the addition of Building Cleaning.

The Embassy said that it expected many talented Sri Lankans would take advantage of this new opportunity to work in Japan in the Building Cleaning, which is estimated to welcome up to 37,000 foreign workers over a five-year period, starting in 2024. The Embassy of Japan will continue to provide the necessary support and cooperation for Sri Lanka’s development, further deepening our long-standing friendship with Sri Lanka.

For more information on its registration, please visit the following website of Japan Building Maintenance Association, which conducts the tests. The application period for the skills test will be 5th – 12th June.
