Abstract
The technical intern training program for foreigners was designed to transfer Japanese technology and skills overseas. In the past, the program was widely criticized from a labor exploitation and human rights perspective. To address the criticism, the program was reformed in 2010 following the 2009 revision of the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act. The author conducted a study targeting primarily crop and livestock farmers who employ Chinese technical interns in Tahara, Aichi Prefecture, which is known as an advanced agricultural area. The aim of this study was to shed light on the situation following the reform of the program. The study revealed that there remains a considerable gulf between the stated purpose of the program and the reality on the ground.
