Hi there! I'm thinking of getting into a Certificate of Higher Education (HNC) this year (I think it's called that in English, I'm from Spain by the way) in carpentry / house building / construction complementing it with a partial carpentry job that the trade school would provide me with as an internship. My plan is to dedicate myself to carpentry and work in it until 2030 to apply for the WHV and find a job in it. if all goes well I would have 5 years working in that sector, I would not reach the supposed 10, I guess that would be a problem.
I am currently 25 years old and N4 level Japanese and would like an N3 or N2 by 2030, as I would be 30 by that year and would not be able to apply for that visa. I also understand that some language schools can provide jobs after attending them.
Would I have any chance of getting it in Japan? Would I have any difficulties with the visa if I want to do that specific job? Most of the carpentry/construction jobs are in small towns or small cities, but I don't really care. If anyone has any information on what carpentry is like in Japan I would like to know, as the only thing I have been able to read is on Yahoo forums from Japan and there is not much information. Thank you for your time.
PD: I have another post in my profile explaining it a little more in detail 🙂
