Translation
The Immigration Services Agency of Japan announced on the 23rd that 25,942 foreign students changed their resident status in 2018 to work in Japan after graduating from universities or vocational schools. The figure was a record high, up 3,523 from the previous year. The increase is believed to be due to an increase in the total number of overseas students and growing demand from companies for foreign workers amid labor shortages.
In order for foreign students to work in Japan, it is necessary to change their status of residence from ¡°study abroad¡± to one intended for employment. The number of people who changed the status in 2018 more than doubled from five years ago.
