Young people in India's northeastern state of Mizoram are enrolling in Japanese-language classes with the aim of securing employment in Japan. The classes take place in Aizawl, the state capital. Students in their 20s attend sessions run by an Indian educational startup that prepares participants for work abroad.
The program, operated by the Japan Centre of Excellence, focuses on caregiver roles. The organization, also known as Jaceex, was founded in 2019 and recruits primarily from northeast India. Participants cite higher wages and career opportunities in Japan as reasons for enrollment.
The training occurs in a city noted for its quiet streets. Japan maintains demand for caregivers amid ongoing labor shortages in the sector.
