SSW1 machine and metal processing category industrial product manufacturing skills

I mainly studied with the official JAIM 「製造分野特定技能1号評価試験（機械金属加工区分）学習用参考テキスト」.

I also bought 「3級技能検定試験問題集 令和6・7年度版 第2集」 by 中央職業能力開発協会 for extra practice, especially the machine processing parts.

And I used this site sometimes to practice questions too. For me, the JAIM textbook + doing a lot of practice questions worked pretty well 👍

Hi, I’m from Turkey and seriously thinking about the SSW industrial manufacturing route, especially machine and metal processing. Could you share your real experience? What kind of work do you do? What’s your gross and take home pay? How much do you pay for housing, insurance, taxes, overtime? How much can you save per month? How are the working conditions? Was finding the first job difficult? Would you choose this path again? Thank you for your time.
