The Cooperative Union Business Supply Aichi, a Japanese union that accepts and employs Filipino workers in Japan, in cooperation with Pro-Tech Skills Development Center Corporation, has announced the conduct of free seminars on Japanese caregiving at Pro-Tech’s training facilities in Makati City from June 19 to 26.

According to Kawamichi Nobuaki, CUBSA president, the training-seminar was the first of its kind in the Philippines and is aimed to increase the awareness and understanding of Filipino care workers and nurses on the modern practices and standards of Japanese caregiving so that the Filipino may become more equipped and prepared for employment in Japan.
