Mongolian Youth Can Be Trained in Japan as Future CEOs

Japan's Shizuoka Prefecture has been steadily expanding its cooperation with Mongolia. On September 7-8, 2024, the prefecture will organize a "Workforce Day" event in Ulaanbaatar, focusing on labor exchange and workforce development.

Ahead of the event, Ms. L. Munkhzul, State Secretary of the Ministry of Family, Labour, and Social Protection, met with a delegation led by Mr. Hironoro Yano, Director of the Fujinokuni Infrastructure Center and head of the event's organizing committee.

During the meeting, Mr. Yano shared insights on training skilled workers, labor exchange programs, and strategies for strengthening human resources in fields such as care and nursing. He emphasized that Japanese employers see great potential in training Mongolian youth in highly skilled roles in Japan, with the goal of preparing them for future leadership positions, including as CEOs. To build a successful career, it is recommended that trainees work and practice in Japan for at least 3-4 years.

State Secretary Ms. Munkhzul acknowledged that Mongolia faces challenges in developing qualified human resources in nursing and other sectors. State Secretary emphasized, "A workforce trained in advanced technology and management in a highly developed country will be the backbone of Mongolia's future development." Ms. Munkhzul added that special attention will be given to preparing Mongolian interns for work in Japan, and a support program will be implemented to assist them upon their return to ensure continued career development.
