💼 Career Opportunities in Japan

Japan faces a demographic challenge: an aging population and shrinking workforce. This has created a demand for international talent, especially in sectors like:
- IT and software development
- Nursing and caregiving
- Engineering and manufacturing
- Hospitality and tourism
- Education and language instruction
Nepali graduates in Japan often find part-time jobs during their studies and transition into full-time roles after graduation. With proper language skills and qualifications, students can apply for work visas and even permanent residency.
