[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Korea Western Power is fostering green talents to activate greenhouse gas reduction in local farms.


Western Power conducted an open recruitment for the 'Greenhouse Gas Reduction Project Supporters 3rd Generation' from the 27th of last month to the 14th, targeting university students and job seekers nationwide, selecting a total of 70 green talents. They will receive a four-day training on 'Greenhouse Gas Reduction Project Manager Training' from the 24th to the 27th to become experts related to greenhouse gas reduction.


This year's training was originally planned to be conducted offline, similar to the 1st generation (15 people) in 2018 and the 2nd generation (15 people) in 2019, but was changed to an online course due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Previously, Western Power developed a non-face-to-face education program in preparation for the COVID-19 situation and expanded the education target from the Chungnam region to nationwide.


The selected 3rd generation supporters will receive high-quality education related to the practical work of greenhouse gas reduction projects free of charge. Additionally, among the 70 trainees who complete the course, outstanding participants will be given internship opportunities to monitor and consult on greenhouse gas reduction projects at local farms in the future. Employment information related to greenhouse gas reduction affiliated organizations will also be provided.



A Western Power official stated, "As greenhouse gas reduction projects expand, the green talent development program linked to this is expected to serve as a stepping stone for young job seekers," adding, "We will take a leading role in greenhouse gas reduction and innovative job creation by focusing on people-centered investment in line with the government's Green New Deal policy direction."
