In April 2013, these projects were set for public interest purposes. We are active as a public interest incorporated association.

In addition, based on the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) concluded with Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam for each country, foreign nurses and care workers who enter the country are received smoothly and appropriately, and employment management is thorough. We are providing acceptance support necessary to acquire knowledge and skills to acquire national qualifications such as foreign nurses.
