Human Resource Development Support Grant: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how companies in Japan can receive subsidies to cover employee training costs and wages during professional development sessions.

This scheme provides financial assistance to businesses that invest in the professional growth and skill development of their workforce.

Who it's for

This grant is designed for companies that provide organized training programs to their employees to improve their skills.

What you get

You can receive subsidies to help offset the costs associated with conducting training. This includes coverage for the direct expenses of the training itself as well as the wages paid to employees while they are participating in the program.

What it actually costs you

While the grant provides financial relief, it requires a significant investment of time for administration. You will need to provide extensive documentation to prove the training occurred and to demonstrate the specific outcomes achieved by your staff.

The catch to know

You cannot apply for the funds after the training is over. The training program must be officially approved before any instruction or professional development begins.

How to apply

  1. Determine the training program you wish to implement.
  2. Submit a request for approval through the official government channels.
  3. Conduct the training as planned once approval is received.
  4. Submit all required documentation regarding training outcomes to claim your subsidy.
