The Permanent Secretary of Labour gave a speech and spoke to the trainees, giving words of encouragement to them. He said that trainees who have worked in Japan for 3 years and have returned to Thailand, can return to work in Japan as a “skilled worker”, which is a new visa. If trainees work in the same field, they will not have to pass language and skills tests. The Permanent Secretary of Labour also distributed dry foods from Thailand to build morale among the trainees.
