来年らいねん4月しがつから「技能ぎのう実習じっしゅう」の制度せいどをやめて、「育成いくせい就労しゅうろう」の制度せいどが始はじまります。
日本にっぽんに来きた外国人がいこくじんに働はたらいてもらいながら技術ぎじゅつを教おしえて、3年ねんで「特定とくてい技能ぎのう」のレベルになるようにする制度せいどです。外国人がいこくじんに働はたらいてもらう会社かいしゃは、普通ふつうは100時間じかん以上いじょう日本にっぽん語ごの授業じゅぎょうを用意よういしなければなりません。
この制度せいどが始はじまる前まえに、川崎市川崎区かわさきしかわさきくは、8月がつから日本にっぽん語ごの授業じゅぎょうをすることにしました。川崎区かわさきくは住すんでいる人ひとの10%ぐらいが外国人がいこくじんです。
授業じゅぎょうはオンラインで行おこないます。生活せいかつの会話かいわや読よんだり書かいたりできるようになってほしいと考かんがえています。
川崎区かわさきくは、「日本にっぽん語ごを学まなぶ機会きかいをつくって、会社かいしゃや生活せいかつでコミュニケーションしやすくなるようにしたいです」と話はなしています。

From April next year, the 'Technical Intern Training' program will be discontinued, and the 'Development Employment' program will begin. This program is designed to teach skills to foreigners who come to work in Japan, aiming to elevate them to the 'Specified Skilled Worker' level within three years. Companies employing these foreigners are generally required to provide more than 100 hours of Japanese language classes. Before this program starts, Kawasaki Ward in Kawasaki City has decided to offer Japanese language classes starting in August. About 10% of the residents in Kawasaki Ward are foreigners. The classes will be conducted online. The aim is for participants to become capable of everyday conversation and reading and writing. Kawasaki Ward stated, 'We want to create opportunities for learning Japanese to make communication easier in both work and daily life.'
