Signifying the bilateral cooperation between the two countries, especially in the field of skill development, the first batch of 12 interns has departed within nine months of the signing of the agreement.
The pre-departure training was conducted by native Japanese teachers at the MSDE facility in Chennai.
The young interns, between the age of 23 and 26 years, hailing from far flung areas of the state, belong to economically weaker sections of the society. They are academically qualified from polytechnic and industrial institutes in the state.
Under the TITP, the candidates received skill training and were oriented in Japanese language, culture, customs and manners.
The programme is supported by Cooperative FUJI, the supervising organisation in Japan. The interns will be placed at Maxell, the consumer electronic company, at its Ono-Shi and Hyogo plants in Japan, where they would work for three years and can avail an option of a two-year extension. They will draw an average monthly salary of Rs 65,000.
Ambassador of India to Japan, Sujan R Chinoy said TITP would be an ideal platform through which the strengths of India and Japan could be leveraged for mutual benefit. India’s talented human resources could meet the growing needs of Japan’s economy in diverse sectors.
“Moreover, the interns trained in Japan would be an asset for the Skill India initiative upon their return to India,” he added.
