The Tokyo Metropolitan Health and Welfare Foundation will start a support system for repayment of scholarships lent to new graduates who have graduated from universities and become long-term care staff.As the labor shortage continues at nursing care facilities in Tokyo, it is also aimed at helping to secure human resources.

 According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Health and Welfare Foundation, support targets are new graduates who are not certified as certified care workers, graduates who have graduated less than 5 years ago, and incumbent care workers who are scholarships loaned while attending universities. Those who make repayments.Excludes fixed-term employees.If the long-term care insurance business submits a business plan that includes a training plan for new graduates, 5 yen per person will be issued annually up to a maximum of 1 years.

 Business establishments that can apply are limited to those who have obtained "Long-term Care Staff Treatment Improvement I" as of April 4 and have a support system for qualification income.New graduates will be paid up to 1 yen each month in the form of allowances from the business establishment.

 Long-term care staff support elderly people who need long-term care at facilities for the elderly, but despite the fact that they are hard-working and careful work, the salary level is low and the number of employees leaving the company is constant.Recently, the employment front for new graduates has become a super-seller market, and labor shortages have become more serious, and many long-term care establishments are struggling to secure human resources.

 Furthermore, if you have to receive a loan-type scholarship and repay it while attending a university, repayment is a heavy burden.The Tokyo Metropolitan Health and Welfare Foundation intends to secure as many long-term care staff as possible by supporting scholarship repayment for a certain period of time.
