TOKYO -- Foreign workers in a new international trainee program that Japan plans to launch may be able to switch jobs after up to two years, according to a new proposal published by an expert government panel Wednesday.

Japan is currently designing a replacement for the troubled technical intern program, which has come under fire for low pay and labor abuses. Among the chief complaints are that interns cannot move to a different employer except under extraordinary circumstances.
