High salary, good benefits, and beautiful scenery. These are few reasons why Filipinos want to work in Japan. But the problem is the language training since it is vital for a worker to understand and able to speak the Japanese language before they can get a job in the said country.

Learning Nihonggo is not a problem anymore because Nihongo language training is now included in Technical Emergency Skills and Training Program (TESTP) of Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

Under the program, the beneficiaries will enjoy free tuition, transportation allowance, meals and tools for other skills.

TESTP aims to provide skills training so that beneficiaries were able to find work or can start their own livelihood.

Priorities under the program are the returning OFWs, beneficiaries of AFP/PNP members killed or wounded in action, dependents of traffic enforcers and other marginalized sectors.

Drug dependents may also avail of this scholarship program.
