Hyderabad: TOMCOM signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Japan-based POGLI Co. Ltd on Friday to create Japan jobs for Telangana youth. The agreement was signed at the Secretariat in the presence of Energy and Mines Minister Dr. G. Vivek Venkataswamy and Energy Secretary Dasari Harichandana.
TOMCOM Managing Director Kanthi Wesley and POGLI Co. Ltd Founder and CEO Dr. Karun Malhotra signed the agreement. Under the partnership, POGLI will identify job opportunities and build links with companies in Japan. Meanwhile, TOMCOM will select and register candidates, conduct initial screening, complete documentation and provide training.
The two organisations will also jointly develop a training programme for candidates seeking Japan jobs. The programme will cover trade skills, Japanese language proficiency and knowledge of local work culture and lifestyle. In addition, candidates will receive pre-departure training before travelling to Japan.
Initially, the partnership will focus on employment opportunities in Japan’s Kansai region. Later, the organisations plan to extend the initiative to other regions of the country. They aim to facilitate employment in Japan for 400 to 500 Telangana youths during the first year.
Japan jobs initiative expands language training
TOMCOM is already providing Japanese language training to Telangana youth interested in working in Japan. The new agreement will add job identification, candidate preparation and pre-departure support to the existing training efforts.
Minister Vivek Venkataswamy said the government aimed to create safe, transparent and long-term employment opportunities for Telangana youth abroad. He added that TOMCOM would continue efforts to secure opportunities for skilled youth from Telangana across the globe, including Japan.
The partnership is therefore expected to connect trained candidates with employment opportunities through a structured process. It will combine recruitment support, skills training, language preparation and awareness of workplace practices in Japan.
