The non-profit organisation Vietnamese Professionals in Japan (VPJ) organised a career talk for youths in Tokyo on December 12.

Fourteen speakers from leading companies in Japan and in the world shared information about novel technologies, and job trends and opportunities, especially in the IT sector.

The talk attracted nearly 300 guests, making it the biggest event hosted by VPJ since its establishment in 2016. The organisation was founded to link Vietnamese youths who are studying and working in the East Asian country.

According to the Vietnam – Japan Friendship Association, more than 260,000 Vietnamese are working, studying and living in Japan, up by almost four-fold in the last five years and making the Vietnamese the fifth largest foreign community in Japan.
