Foreign Worker Recruitment Seminar: Construction Industry Faces Potential Suspension of Specified Skilled Worker Acceptance? Explaining the System and Talent Market (April 21, 2 PM Online)

The construction industry continues to face labor shortages, leading more companies to consider the Specified Skilled Worker program. However, on March 27, a new acceptance suspension for Specified Skilled Worker Type 1 in the food service industry was announced. Consequently, foreign workers who had planned to work in food service are now looking into other fields, including construction. This shift could rapidly increase the number of foreign workers seeking specified skilled visas in construction, potentially filling acceptance quotas faster than anticipated. While no new acceptance suspension has been decided for the construction sector, it is crucial for companies to prepare for future recruitment in light of these environmental changes. This seminar will specifically address the construction sector, clarifying the Specified Skilled Worker program from basics to practical implementation, and explaining current talent trends and market movements. The seminar will be held online via Zoom on April 21, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Speakers include Hikaru Sai and Yusuke Suzuki from Mynavi Global. The application deadline is April 20, 2026, at 12:00 PM. Mynavi Global, established on April 1, 2019, provides outcome-based recruitment services for foreign talent to Japanese companies, leveraging the Mynavi Group's job media and overseas bases.
