LA TRINIDAD, Benguet -- Qualified skilled farmers in the province may have the chance to undergo internship training with compensation to Japan upon the forging of memorandum agreement of the provincial government with Ehimei Prefecture.
The MOA authorizing Gov. Nestor Fongwan with the Farmer’s Cooperative of Ehimei Prefecture represented by Chairman Tsukuru Kuramoto on the Technical Intern Training Program was ratified through a resolution by the provincial board.
Under the program, the provincial government will be sending skilled and qualified agricultural farmers to Japan for the internship program paid on salary basis, provincial agriculturist Lolita Bentres said.
“The trainees who will be working will be treated as co-equal time workers and are paid on an hourly rate unlike before where they are given only allowance.”
Prior to their training-employment, interns will learn Niponggo for one to two months, she added.
The partnership program with a number of Prefectures in Japan had been going on for several years now.
It has reportedly contributed to the agricultural development and effective technology transfer both to the province and Japan.
