Mr Oike Koji - President of We Are Asean, the non-profit Association said: "After about 20-30 years, Vietnam is also forecasted to become a country with a high ageing rate like Japan today. The promotion of a plan to train and foster nurses in the field of elderly care with high standards of knowledge and techniques is the most necessary preparation for the shortage of human resources in this field from now on". Accordingly, students in nursing from Dong A University with Japanese language proficiency from N3 will have a 6-month - 1-year internship in Japan, before officially working at nursing companies in Japan in the next three years as a special skilled employee, aiming to pass the national certification exam in Nursing to work in a long-term plan.
