Our five specified skill workers live in a rented house a few minute's walk from the factory where they work. Since we have about 50 male and female technical trainees, we built a new women's dormitory. The rented house is located far from supermarkets and other stores, and it is difficult to go shopping on foot in winter. So, on Sundays when the factory is closed, we take them shopping by bus if they ask.

These workers and the staff in charge of their affairs can contact each other at any time through social networks. This system allows for information on health conditions and other issues to be received promptly, allowing for a smooth response. When they called around 8:00 p.m. saying that they had lost their room key, we realized how good it was to be connected in this way.

About 500 foreign workers are living in Mombetsu City. A city-wide support system has been created for them, providing international exchange salons, Japanese language classes, sports events, social studies field trips, etc., which we as a company appreciate. Through working with the government, I want to communicate Mombetsu's highlights to foreign workers and create a comfortable living environment where they can continue to work for a long time.
