Chapter 1: Training, Transferring Knowledge, and Making a 'Win-Win': Bilateral Discourses Between Japan and Indonesia -- Chapter 2: Harsh Discipline as a Strategy in Pre-Departure Training -- Chapter 3: Seniority is First The Dynamics of Senior-Junior Relations -- Chapter 4: The Role of Supervising Organization (Kanridantai) -- Chapter 5: Community as a Coping Mechanism: Religious Groups, Ethnic Communities and Social Collectivism of Tohoku Family -- Chapter 6: The Self as an Active Agent: Social Media and Indonesian Young Labor Migration Phenomenon to Japan -- Chapter 7: Welcome Back Home! Willingness and Readiness to Return -- Final Chapter 8: The Conclusion.

This book delves into a developing area of Japan's labor migration studies, providing comprehensive insights to unveil the complexity of Japan's Technical Intern Trainee Program (TITP), not only from the perspective of the receiving country but particularly from that of the sending country. In doing so, the book focuses on Indonesia's participation in the TITP. With this, the book investigates the roles of various actors, including the Indonesian government, the supervising organization, the Indonesian community, alumni, and the trainees themselves. It examines, through three different (but interlocking) stages, (1) the pre-departure stage, (2) on-the-program stage, and (3) post-program stage. To achieve this, the book draws upon extensive fieldwork, including in-depth interviews where the main part of the book is the result of ethnographic fieldwork, netnography, interviews, and participant observation of the relevant parties to gauge what issues/problems they are aware of. Fieldwork was conducted on/off sites and also with current and former alumni of the technical trainee program in Indonesia as well as interviews with the stakeholders, such as policymakers from Japan and, particularly in Indonesia, and the supervising organization (kumiai/kanridantai). Yusy Widarahesty holds a Ph.D. in International Relations, is a Senior Researcher at the Asia Japan Research Institute/AJI Ritsumeikan University, and co-founder of RUMI Japan (Home for Indonesian Migrants in Japan), a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Indonesian migrants in Japan. She began her academic career in 2009 by teaching at Al Azhar Indonesia University in the Department of International Relations. Her research focuses on civil society, international labor migration and mobilities, and human security.
