India-Japan skilled worker mobility cooperation

Overview

India and Japan are establishing frameworks to increase the mobility of skilled Indian workers to Japan. Initial efforts focused on a structured roadmap to send 50,000 skilled personnel as part of a larger five-year plan to exchange 500,000 people. This initiative involves bridging institutional gaps between training centers and developing funding pathways to align Indian talent with Japanese industry needs.

Implementation has expanded to include specific regional and academic programs. In Japan, universities are developing professional skills through internships, while private consultants are working to understand the work values of younger generations. Concurrently, Hiroshima Prefecture has commissioned a job fair to be held in Chennai, India, in October 2026, specifically targeting highly skilled Indian professionals in the IT, manufacturing, and construction sectors.
