Hi there,

I'm currently working as an apprentice for an oil refinery as an Instrument / control technician. I ensure the safe and reliable operation of measurement and control equipment within the refinery. My duties include SIS testing, breakdown repair, control and supervision, planning and project work.

I've got a couple of years left to go on my apprenticeship, but Japan has all ways fascinated me.
I was wondering how employable I would be, the chances of getting work e.t.c

I'll be starting Japanese classes soon to give me as much chance as possible ( I also intend to visit this amazing country on holiday when I feel I'm at some level of competency in the language)

Ideally I'd love to get away from the mess that the UK is becoming now... ( see picture lol ) And move onto greener, friendlier Japanese pastures

Sorry... very unlikely.
It is easier for Japanese companies to employ a Japanese person who can read and write and understand the Japanese ways...
