Great news for residents of Japan wishing to improve their employment situation.

Students of Code Chrysalis who are residents of Japan are eligible to receive up to ¥400,000 per year under the Hello Work Education and Training benefit system.

The Education and Training benefit system (教育訓練給付制度) was designed to support the development and career transformation of employed people. Its aim is to promote employment stability and employment opportunities. This program isn’t simply for full-time employees, part-time and contract employees are also encouraged to apply.

Who can Apply?

‍

• Long term residents of Japan who have accrued a certain amount of employment insurance (confirm your eligibility with HelloWork)
• Full-Time Immersive students

It’s important to note the entire process is conducted in Japanese. Hello Work does not provide English documents or English language assistance. In other words, when applying,  you will need to be proficient in Japanese or have someone available to translate for you.

Another important note is that those who have been unemployed for less than one year (the date they ceased to be insured) are also eligible. However, if you are unable to attend a course within the year you ceased to be insured due to pregnancy, childbirth, childcare, illness, or injury, you may apply to the head of the Public Employment Security Office for an extension of up to 20 years.

Application Flow
