Assam launches CM-FLIGHT Scheme for job opportunities in Japan

The Assam government has launched the CM-FLIGHT scheme, a groundbreaking initiative designed to provide job opportunities to the state's youth in Japan. In the first phase, 50,000 young individuals from Assam will be sent to Japan, with the potential to earn a monthly salary of up to Rs 2 lakh.

The scheme includes a 10-month Japanese language course, which will cost Rs 1.8 lakh. The financial burden will be shared, with the Assam government contributing Rs 1 lakh and the Japan government contributing Rs 50,000. The remaining Rs 30,000 can be borrowed from banks if needed.

There are no stringent educational requirements, as candidates who have passed the HSLC exam can apply. The youth will be employed in 16 trades in Japan, with potential for future opportunities. Additionally, 10 Assam Civil Service (ACS) officers will receive Japanese language training.

The Assam government is exploring similar agreements with Germany and South Korea, paving the way for more international job opportunities. Interested candidates can apply through the official website or visit the Northeast Skill Centre in Guwahati for more information.

This initiative is part of the Advantage Assam 2.0 program, which aims to empower the state's youth by providing them with opportunities to work abroad and earn a better living. With its innovative approach and potential for growth, the CM-Flight scheme is set to benefit thousands of young individuals in Assam.
