Pathways Japan is now accepting applications for the JLPT N3 level classes of “Japanese for work” for Afghans in 2024.
This course is organized by Pathways Japan and aims to support Afghan evacuees and former students/residents residing in Japan who do not have any other opportunities to learn Japanese for work by a professional language teacher. Through the online lessons, the participants are expected to improve their Japanese language skill for opening up better career opportunities and building competencies in Japan.
Up to date, we have offered courses for beginner level students, but this year we are offering a class to prepare for JLPT(Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N3 in order to help learners find more stable employment in Japan.
