For the umpteenth time, the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training, University of Muhammadiyah Malang (DPVP-UMM) dispatched 18 Nursing Study Program graduates to Japan. The departure this time was not only attended by D-3 graduates, but also S1 and Nurse Professionals. Arriving in Japan, they will be placed in several elderly hospitals as caregivers with a 3 year contract period.

In fact, caregiver is a transitional work. The main goal of going to Japan is a career as an international certified nurse. For this reason, after the contract period, participants must take a professional certification exam held by the Japanese government.

So far, there have been participants who have successfully pocketed international certificates and were accepted to work as professional nurses in Japanese public hospitals. Through this vision, it is hoped that the career path of the UMM nursing graduates can be more developed and sustainable.

To realize this vision, DPVP-UMM is supported by the accepting company (Acceptance Officer, AO), namely Cooperative Fuku. This is a kind of holding company that gathers dozens of hospitals in Japan that are ready to accept UMM graduates. There is also a Sending Officer (SO) of PT.

Duta Mandiri Indonesia, whose job is to take care of all work documents to Japan, the Japanese Language Job Training Institute (LPK), and the International Test Center (ITC), which is an institution that organizes exams and issues a Japanese language proficiency certificate.

Director of DPVP-UMM, Dr. Tulus Winarsunu, M.Sc., Monday (2/11) explained that this year a new institution was formed, namely the Outsourcing Training Center, the result of the collaboration between UMM and PT. Selnajaya OS Indonesia.

The function of this new institution is to train and channel an educated workforce of tertiary education graduates as well as skilled workers of vocational and high school graduates. The priority work schemes this year are caregivers, hotel employees and restaurants. "This program will start at the latest in early 2021," said Tulus, in his office.

Yessy Witantry, one of the nurses from the UMM Nursing Study Program who left for Japan in her speech representing her colleagues said that being able to go to Japan in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic is a miracle of Allah.

At first, it occurred to her that there would be no departures this year because of the pandemic. Because it was reported in March when she was applying for a visa the day after, she got a call from the Japanese Consul General that Japan was on lockdown. (nain / can)
