Prime Minister Kishida has stated that as part of his comprehensive economic stimulus package, he will put together a large package of 1 trillion yen over five years to promote the movement of people to growth areas, including reskilling.
We think that 200 billion yen per year is too little, but leaving that aside, what is reskilling?
Japanese people have a bad habit of adopting foreign words in katakana as they are.
The same is true of reskilling, which means "re-skilling" in English, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.
the process of learning new skills so you can do a different job, or of training people to do a different job
It refers to the process of learning new skills to do a different job.
Although reskilling is referred to as "relearning" in Japan, I think it is a different concept from reskilling because relearning means updating what you have already learned. I think it would be better to use the term "acquiring new skills and techniques in order to get a job.
The techniques and skills required for the job are many and varied, and there are hundreds of them. Therefore, the specific skills required for the job will vary greatly depending on the job.
What is required of each of us, then, is a versatile basic ability to acquire these new skills.
For example, the ability to communicate smoothly with people around you. The ability to select appropriate information from an overflow of information. The ability to digest such information, think logically with one's own mind, and output it.
Looking at myself, I must say that I unfortunately lack basic skills.
It is said that you study until you die. It is not too late for me to acquire the skills I am lacking.
Let's start with English language skills to obtain a wide range of information and mathematics to develop the ability to think theoretically.
