#1 Sending Organization in Pakistan for Japan
Kashmir Overseas Employment Service (KOES) is proud to announce that we have been approved as a sending organization for the Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) in Japan (List of Authorized Sending Organizations in Pakistan – Kashmir Overseas is #62.) This prestigious status, granted by Japan’s Organization for Technical Intern Training (OTIT), allows us to facilitate candidates in completing TITP prerequisites to send them to Japan for on-the-job training and skills development in various industries for up to 5 years.
The TITP was established in 1993 by the Japanese government to promote international cooperation and transfer skills, technologies and knowledge from Japan to developing countries. It provides an excellent opportunity for Pakistani interns to gain valuable work experience in Japan, one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world, while also learning about Japanese language, culture and work ethics.
As a TITP sending organization, KOES will work closely with Japanese supervising organizations and implementing companies to match Pakistani interns with appropriate training opportunities that meet both the interns’ career goals and the host companies’ needs. We are committed to ensuring a smooth and enriching experience for all stakeholders involved.

Training and Support Services
Students Learning Japanese
To prepare interns for success in Japan, KOES provides a range of training and support services, including:
Japanese Language Training
Our experienced instructors conduct intensive courses in spoken and written Japanese, covering essential skills for daily life and work, up to the JLPT N5/N4 level.
Technical Skills Assessment
KOES assesses candidates’ existing skills and experience in their chosen field. This may include practical tests, industry-specific terminology, and safety protocols.
Placement and Visa Processing
Once a successful match is made between an intern and a host company, KOES assists with the preparation and submission of all required documents for the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and visa application. We liaise with the Japanese authorities and the supervising organization to ensure a smooth process.
Pre-Departure Orientation
Prior to leaving for Japan, interns attend a comprehensive orientation covering topics such as:
- Employment contract and conditions.
- Rights and responsibilities as a TITP intern.
- Health insurance and medical care.
- Accommodation and living arrangements.
- Emergency contacts and support resources
This ensures that interns are well-prepared and informed about what to expect during their training period in Japan.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Throughout the internship period, KOES maintains regular communication with the interns, the Japanese supervising organization, and the implementing company to monitor the interns’ progress, address any issues that may arise, and provide guidance and support as needed. We are committed to the well-being and success of our interns from start to finish.
The Japanese Job Market
Japan is currently facing a severe labor shortage due to its rapidly aging population and low birth rate. The government has identified the TITP as a key initiative to bring in foreign workers to fill gaps in industries like construction, agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, nursing and caregiving.
Interns under the TITP can earn attractive wages while gaining valuable skills and experience that will enhance their career prospects back in Pakistan as well. Many TITP alumni go on to work in Japanese companies or start their own businesses utilizing their Japan-acquired expertise.
Furthermore, TITP interns who complete their 3-year training period have the opportunity to apply for an additional 2-year period as a Specified Skilled Worker (SSW), allowing them to continue working in Japan for up to 5 years in total. This provides even greater potential for skill development and career advancement.
How to Apply
If you are a Pakistani citizen interested in applying for the TITP through KOES, you’ll first need to enroll in our Japanese language classes, as spoken Japanese language proficiency is a pre-requisite. If you already have Japanese language credentials, then you don’t need to attend the course. You can just submit an online application. Our recruitment team will review your qualifications and contact you for further assessment and processing.
Japanese companies interested in hosting skilled and dedicated technical interns from Pakistan are invited to contact KOES at info@kashmiroverseas.com to discuss your labor needs and how we can match you with suitable candidates. We look forward to partnering with you for a mutually beneficial training experience.
