Training & Employment Program

This new system will replace TITP in an expanded form and integrate the development and employment of foreign workers. BEGIN plans to apply under the Training & Employment Program after obtaining TITP-related approval. Until then, we introduce partner business cooperatives to companies seeking the program.
