Summary

This is a subsidy program operated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare to promote trial employment of job seekers facing employment difficulties. The program provides subsidies to employers who hire eligible candidates for a trial period of up to 3 months. Employers in Japan with employment insurance relationships are eligible, and must hire designated trial employment candidates (new graduates without employment, freters, mid-career job seekers, etc.). The program subsidizes a portion of wages during the trial period, with maximum monthly assistance of approximately ¥40,000 per person for up to 3 months. Key requirements include executing an employment contract and notifying Hello Work; conversion to permanent employment after the trial period is expected. The trial period allows employers to assess candidate suitability and reduce hiring risks effectively.
