The labor ministry plans to make public the names of companies that retract job offers to students for more than two years in a row, government sources said Monday.

It also intends to disclose company names if they rescind more than 10 job offers in the same business year and fail to provide help for the students to find other jobs, the sources said. Such acts are considered malicious in view of their negative impact on students.

The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry has set criteria for job cancellations that would be deemed malicious.
