Job Seeker Support Training: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access free vocational training and monthly financial allowances if you are unemployed and do not qualify for unemployment insurance.

This program provides vocational training and financial assistance to help people who are currently unemployed find new work.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for individuals who are unemployed but are not eligible to receive standard unemployment insurance benefits.

What you get

You can access free vocational training to learn new job skills. If you meet the specific eligibility criteria, you may also receive a monthly allowance of ¥100,000 to help cover living costs while you train.

What it costs you

There is no monetary cost to join, but you are required to attend your training sessions on a full-time basis. You should also be prepared for a rigorous application process to prove your eligibility.

The catch to know

The monthly allowance is not available to everyone; it is strictly reserved for those who have very low household assets.

How to apply

  1. Check your eligibility regarding unemployment insurance and household assets.
  2. Prepare the necessary documentation for a rigorous application.
  3. Contact your local employment office to start the process.
