FAQ

Common Questions

Is seafaring experience needed?

For vessel-based roles, prior fishing or maritime experience helps. For land-based aquaculture and processing, general labour experience is sufficient.

What is the lifestyle like?

Coastal, often remote. Housing and meals provided means very low living expenses. The work can be physically demanding and weather-dependent.

Is IJK's service free?

Yes — entirely free for candidates. IJK is compensated by Japanese employers on successful placement. You pay nothing at any stage.
