The 3 people from Bangladesh learned the rules of daily life in Japan in Nagasaki and received job offers from companies in Nagasaki Prefecture. After 4 months of Japanese-language study following their arrival in Japan, they are scheduled to begin work in the field.
As the number of foreigners working in Japan grows, efforts to establish support systems for them are also advancing in Nagasaki Prefecture. Through the example of 3 young people who came to Japan from Bangladesh, this report explores a path toward coexistence.
The 3 are Alam Md Nurshad (アラム・エムディ・ヌルサド), 26, Ahmed Arafat (アホメド・アラファト), 25, and Shadman Sakib (シャドマン・サキブ), 28. After arriving in Japan, they studied Japanese and the rules of daily life in Japan for 4 months as international students at Nagasaki University.
Alongside their Japanese-language studies, they deepened their understanding of daily-life rules, including how to dispose of waste, and their sorting was rated “perfect.” Nurshad was pleased to have his questions about waste sorting resolved soon after arriving in Japan and showed a positive attitude toward adapting to Japanese customs.
The 3 are scheduled to join companies in Nagasaki Prefecture. Nurshad and Arafat are expected to develop hardware at a company in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, while Sakib is expected to work in the solar power generation sector.
The initiative has been reported as part of broader efforts by local communities to strengthen support for foreigners in their daily lives.
