5 REASONS

Why companies choose Kiraboshi

A training company, not a placement agency. That is exactly why we can offer these five strengths.

01

60 regional partner schools and a standing candidate pool of 3,000

We have built a network of roughly 60 regional partner schools across Myanmar. Rather than concentrating on the capital region, we maintain a standing pool of around 3,000 sincere, hard-working candidates from regional areas.

Thanks to the trust we have built with the teachers at our partner schools, we can select candidates based not only on the individual but also on their family environment and character. We strive to build a pool defined by "quality," not just "quantity."

02

Live-in, 1,500 hours of pre-departure training

Kiraboshi delivers 1,500 hours of pre-departure training in a live-in (residential) format.

We adopt a live-in format so that we can teach not only Japanese but also "daily habits, discipline and a work ethic" in one seamless program. Through communal living, trainees internalize greetings, tidiness and punctuality, so that from their very first day in Japan they can fit into "Japanese corporate culture" without any sense of dissonance.

03

Direct instruction by a teaching team of over 10, including Japanese instructors

Taiju Japanese Language School (trade name) has more than 10 resident teachers, including Japanese instructors. From pronunciation and honorific language to natural conversation and business Japanese, native speakers provide direct instruction.

Not "Japanese learned from a textbook," but "Japanese that works on the job." This is a level of educational quality that can only be achieved through the continuous feedback of Japanese teachers.

04

Job-specific practical training (Nursing Care, Manufacturing, Construction, food service, automotive, and more)

Japanese-language education alone does not make someone work-ready on the job. Kiraboshi completes practical training tailored to each placement's job type before departure.

  • Nursing Care: practical skills equivalent to the Initial Training course, plus the basics of transfers, mealtime assistance and record-keeping
  • Manufacturing: 5S, KY (hazard prediction), basic machine operation and technical terminology
  • Construction: occupational safety and health, scaffolding, tool names and on-site etiquette
  • Food service & hospitality: customer-service Japanese, honorific language and the etiquette of bowing
05

Ongoing follow-up even after departure by the Taiju Japanese Language School Japan branch

Our job does not end at departure. Even after arrival in Japan, the Taiju Japanese Language School Japan branch continues to support trainees with daily-life consultations, workplace consultations and Japanese-language brush-up.

The reassurance of having a "teacher from home" right there in Japan. That is the uniquely Kiraboshi support structure that makes the difference in retention rates.
