Dream Exchange Group’s bilingual staffing and recruiting company Empower Inc. has been providing support for Ukrainian refugees, and has established a system to recruit Ukrainian refugees and train them to work in the accommodation industry in cooperation with Shirahama Onsen Hotel Seymour and Shirahama-kan Corporation as partner companies that can provide a set of support including meals and employment. We have established a system to employ Ukrainian evacuees and provide them with employment training in the accommodation industry.
In order to develop a similar program nationwide, we are looking for companies and municipalities that can act as guarantors for Ukrainian nationals.
There are many highly educated Ukrainian refugees who wish to work in Japan, but they are discouraged from coming to Japan because they need a guarantor when applying for a visa.
In addition, while there are many organizations that assist Ukrainians in finding employment in Japan, there are few that follow up and support them in their daily life and work.
Empower Inc. has established a seamless and consistent support system for Ukrainian refugees living in Japan, including a daily life support hotline staffed by Ukrainians, and in cooperation with Shirahama Kaikan, we support Ukrainian staff working in the hotel industry.
For companies considering hiring Ukrainian refugees, we will support them by providing Japanese language training.
Shirahama-kan Corporation has already hired one Ukrainian refugee as a trial, and will provide dormitory and meals, as well as training in accordance with the career map of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and Japanese language training at the same time to develop human resources to acquire the skills needed for hotel personnel.
Shirahama Town in Wakayama Prefecture is also cooperating in this project. Empower and Shirahama-kan are cooperating to increase the number of hotels registered to host Ukrainian refugees and to build “Japanese-Ukrainian relations” so that Ukrainian refugees can learn about Japanese culture, history, and Japanese temperament.
We will also increase opportunities for Japanese people to deepen their understanding of Ukraine, which will lead to a strong bond of trust between Japan, Ukraine, and the world.
We hope that the personnel trained in the accommodation industry in Japanese hotels will contribute to the accommodation industry in Ukraine, which is needed for the reconstruction of the country after the war.
We hope that many companies and local governments will raise their hands as guarantors for Ukrainian refugees as a first step to solve the shortage of human resources that Japan is currently facing.
