Specified Skilled Talent
Service overview
At iHOLON, we provide comprehensive support under the Specified Skilled Worker program—from recruitment of foreign talent to retention support, career development, and assistance with daily life. We have established a support system that is attentive to both employers and foreign workers, helping companies appropriately and smoothly accept Specified Skilled Workers and create an environment where they can be employed with confidence.
A Registered Support Organization is an entity entrusted by the host organization to assist in the preparation of support plans and to carry out various forms of support.
As a Registered Support Organization, iHOLON offers total support for Specified Skilled Worker (i) employees, including proxy application for residence status, arrangement of housing and utilities, life orientation, daily consultation services, and Japanese language learning assistance. Through these services, we help reduce the burden on host companies while ensuring the successful retention and active contribution of foreign talent.
