A chance to travel to Japan, experience work and culture

By: Vance Madelo

Working in TTSP as a technical design staff, or that which work specifically as Design Engineer, Design Specialist or Design Technician will present an employee a chance to travel to Japan and work there in one of the offices of Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Company. It is a yearly regular dispatch program of TTSP for all technical employees to experience the Japanese work culture, exchange technical skills and assimilate these into both parties' local ship designing and building silos.

After about a year or two of tenure in TTSP, an employee get this chance to be dispatched for either six months, one year, or three months to Japan. They are being selected from different design teams across TTSP on a rotation basis handpicked by their managers. Good performers usually get the first chance than the others. They travel by batch of 30's to 50's. All travel expenses are paid for by the company (TTSP) and salaries are also paid them by their Japanese employers during their stay there.

Longer-staying TTSP employees naturally have greater chances of being dispatched there over again. Sometimes, they will be sent for business trips that take days to not more than six months. An allowance is also alloted them for the duration of their stay. Usually, they would have more take-home cash from these allowances if they choose to spend prudently. However, most of the dispatches especially the newer ones prefer to spend liberally on Japanese foods, gadgets and take home stuffs to bring home to their respective families on their timely Christmas-season homecoming, with some cash to spare.

Employees find it exciting and fun to be dispatched to Japan because they find it enriching to learn the Japanese way of life, work culture and environment. It is one of the blessings one often looks forward to in working in TTSP.
