Examples of denial

(6) An application was made for involvement in interpretation and technical guidance as a preparation for future foreign employees in a building maintenance company. However, there was no concrete plan for future employment, and in the meantime, the applicant stated they would engage in cleaning work as part of the training. Since this job did not fall under either “Technical, Humanities, and International Services,” the application was denied.

(7) An application was made for the position of front staff managing reservations and performing interpretation duties at a hotel, which initially included waiting tables and cleaning rooms as part of the training for the first year. However, it was found that a foreign employee previously hired by the hotel was still engaged in similar non-compliant activities beyond the initial training period, leading to a denial.

(8) An application was made for translation and interpretation work while employed by a staffing agency. However, the job description in the labor dispatch contract stated “store staff,” and upon confirming with the dispatch destination, it was found that the location was a retail store where the applicant would engage in customer service and sales, leading to denial as the work did not fall under “Technical, Humanities, and International Services.”

(9) An application was made to work in a factory processing electrical components, performing tasks such as processing, assembling, inspecting, and packaging components. However, since the same type of work was being performed by technical interns, it was determined that the applicant's tasks did not require advanced knowledge, resulting in a denial.

(10) An application was made by a graduate of a nutrition vocational school who completed courses in food chemistry, hygiene education, clinical nutrition, and cooking practice, to manufacture Western confections in a confectionery factory using the acquired knowledge. However, it was ruled that the tasks could be performed through repetitive training, resulting in denial.

(The application was denied due to a lack of relevance to the major subjects studied.)

※ Specific major subjects are not listed for courses and departments where the acquired content is clear.

(2) A graduate of the Illustration Course applied to work with a company providing staffing and employment services, performing clothing sales with translation and interpretation for a store that attracts many foreign customers.
