Bekasi, September 17, 2026 — The Indonesia Japan Business Network (IJBNet) in collaboration with Seino Transportation Co., Ltd. Japan conducted a series of interviews for the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) logistics work program on September 16–17, 2026. This activity is part of the selection process for Indonesian workers being prepared to work in the logistics sector in Japan.
The event began with remarks from Solihin, the Executive Director of IJBNet, and Yani Marlisna Jaya, the Vice Chairman of IJBNet for Human Resource Development. During this opportunity, IJBNet provided an introduction regarding the implementation of the program and the importance of a directed selection process and preparation for Indonesian workers who will participate in the SSW program in Japan.
Next, Kobatake Takashi, a representative from Seino Japan, gave a speech and explanation about Seino and the work program offered. The session continued with a briefing and a Q&A, providing participants the opportunity to understand more about the job, work environment, and the process they will undergo if they pass the selection.
The series of interviews was attended by 24 participants from various regions, ranging from the Jabodetabek area to Tegal, Cirebon, Kendal, Karawang, and Blitar. One participant even attended the interview process online from Hiroshima, Japan.
On the first day, September 16, 2026, the interview was attended by 17 participants divided into several groups and interspersed with evaluation sessions. The interview process was then continued on September 17, 2026, for seven other participants. Thus, all 24 participants have undergone the interview and evaluation process that is part of the program selection stages.
This event was also attended by the Seino team from Indonesia as well as two representatives from Seino in Japan who were present in person during the interview and evaluation process. The presence of the Seino team from Japan is an important part of ensuring that the selection process runs according to the needs and standards of the company.
The implementation of the interview was also accompanied by Soleh, Founder of LPK Genki Kenshu Senta, as one of the partners supporting the preparation of prospective Indonesian workers to participate in work programs in Japan. LPK Genki Kenshu Senta is a training institution that runs internship programs and Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) programs to prepare participants to work in Japan.
Of the 24 participants who took part in the interview process, 17 participants were declared to have passed the selection. The series of activities on September 17, 2026, was then continued with the announcement of the selection results, a ceremony for the handover of contract letters, and an explanation of the next stages, including plans to start preparation classes for the successful participants.
