The government should provide vocational training and language support to Brazilian workers who have lost their jobs as manufacturers streamline operations, Brazilian Ambassador Luiz Augusto De Castro Neves said.
In a recent interview, Castro Neves expressed hope that Japan will bolster training to enable workers to transfer smoothly from ailing industries to other sectors. He also noted that public schools need to step up Japanese language education for foreign students.
Many out-of-work Brazilians who can no longer afford to send their children to private Brazilian schools are opting to return home rather than transfer their kids to public schools, partly due to the lack of language support.
