The number of technical intern trainees in Japan has been increasing even during the coronavirus crisis. Currently, the number of technical trainees from Vietnam has overtaken the number of trainees from China, and people from other countries in Southeast Asia also started to come to Japan as trainees. Through a questionnaire survey, the basic attributes, occupation in home country, purpose of visiting Japan and living conditions in Japan were determined for technical trainees. This paper will clarify how Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) functions as a system, including its evaluation by the technical trainees. Using the evaluation of the system by the technical trainees as the basis, this paper will claim that although the TITP dissociates from the principles of technical interns, it does, however function as a system that supplies a labor force in Japan.
