JAKARTA — Speaking in Japanese and bowing, 24-year-old Siti Maesaroh offers a tray with a mug and two bowls to a fellow student pretending to be an elderly person, before asking him if he wanted chopsticks and a spoon to eat with. The role play is an example of the type of training being offered by vocational institutions across Indonesia catering to students seeking to fill job vacancies in Japan. 'I think the reason Japan chooses us is because Indonesian youths are very capable of caring for the elderly,' said Maesaroh, who is attending the Onodera User Run school in Indonesia's capital, Jakarta.
