Women from multicultural families who participated in the first training session

With funding from the Welfare and Medical Care Agency, APFS is working with the nonprofit organization ASIAN COMMUNITY TAKASHIMADAIRA on a "comprehensive support project for the independence of multicultural families."
One of the projects, "Vocational training for career development for women from multicultural families," began on Saturday, August 30, 2014. Five women from multicultural families are taking the "Initial Care Worker Training" course, aiming to complete it in February of next year.
The participants are from the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi woman was unable to attend the first class due to illness, but will participate from the second class. This program is being carried out with the cooperation of the Ai Helper School in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture.
