To date, our company has supported the employment of over 900 Myanmar nationals.

Global Talent EXPO 2026 Hokkaido

ST Agency's "Specialized Training" and "Retention Support" Backing Hokkaido's Key Industries

1. Specialized Training Facilities Developing Job-Ready Talent

Our in-house facility in Yangon features dedicated practical training rooms for nursing care and cooking. Instructors with hands-on experience in Japan provide thorough training not only in technical skills but also in "omotenashi" (Japanese hospitality) and hygiene management, enabling trainees to contribute effectively from the moment they arrive in Japan.

2. Strong Matching Capabilities Across Diverse Industries

In addition to nursing care and food service, we have a strong track record placing talent in food manufacturing—a core industry in Hokkaido—across major Specified Skilled Worker fields. Leveraging accumulated expertise, we offer optimal talent recommendations tailored to the specific needs of each industry.

3. Retention Support by a Japan-Myanmar Unified Team

As a Registered Support Organization, our company provides comprehensive support from pre-arrival preparation through post-arrival settlement. With native-language support provided by our Myanmar staff, we help overcome language and cultural barriers, achieving high retention rates.
