The Tokyo Association of the Blind and Deaf, a certified NPO, in collaboration with the Japan College of Social Work, has been jointly implementing a training program for interpreters and assistants for the blind and deaf since April 2026. In Tokyo's dispatch services, the number of registered individuals under 30 has dropped from 11% in fiscal 2014 to just 3% in fiscal 2024, making the recruitment of young talent an urgent issue. This program consists of a 43.5-hour curriculum combining university lectures with exercises and practical training provided by the Association, and graduates are recommended as registered interpreters and assistants.
