MIRAI Opens Recruitment For Skill Development Hiring Route Ahead Of 2027 Cap
MIRAI is selling care and farm operators a workaround for a cap it expects to bind in 2027, moving the recruitment question from visa quotas to who signs up early for the new training-based route.

MIRAI Co., Ltd., which provides training and retention support for Specified Skilled Worker foreign nationals, has launched a project to build a new hiring route under the Employment for Skill Development system. The company is recruiting care service operators and agricultural corporations to join. MIRAI cites the risk that field-specific acceptance caps under the Specified Skilled Worker system are reached around 2027.
The project targets operators in care and agriculture, two sectors MIRAI describes as dependent on foreign workers. Under the Specified Skilled Worker system, the company expects field-specific acceptance caps set by Cabinet approval to be reached around 2027, and it argues that recruitment schemes relying only on that system may fail to hire when staff are needed.
MIRAI says it will support participants from pre-education at local partner schools through Employment for Skill Development and on to Specified Skilled Worker No. 1 status, including help obtaining national qualifications after assignment. Early participants are offered priority matching and preferential startup support.
