The Justice Ministry on Friday eased the educational requirements for foreign residents who wish to re-enter Japan for employment, allowing graduates of Japanese vocational schools to do so without a college degree.
The move is part of a new growth strategy and is aimed at providing career support to such graduates so Japan can attract more foreign students.
It is also aimed at luring back vocational school students who want to work in Japan but decided to leave after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, officials said.
Before the revision, only college-educated foreign residents were allowed to re-enter Japan for employment if they had returned to their home countries because the ministry deemed it necessary for foreigners to have "a certain level of expertise."
