This is Spring, and in Japan, March is the end of the academic and business year. School year starts in April and ends in March. Consistently, professional calendar year starts in April and ends in March.
What does it mean for host families who are seeking Japanese au pairs?
Spring is the very important season to start communicating Japanese au pairs.
Also, you might consider welcoming a Japanese au pair sometime between April and June. Many Japanese nationals are seeking an au pair opportunity with April, May arrival after graduating from school or finishing their employment contract.
Some Japanese nationals think that they would like to work until March, then resign their job and focus on their au pair application process.
I realized several Japanese nationals started working seriously about their applications.
We are working hard to encourage them to finish their applications.
Au Pair Japanese Connection is hosting a recruiting event in Tokyo and Osaka in June.
I am hoping to promote au pair programs in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, France etc.
Busy recruitment season has been started.
I will keep you posted!
