[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The '2020 Industrial Complex Corporation-Vocational High School Daegu-type Employment-linked Field Training Program' will be conducted at each industrial complex from the 7th to October 23rd.

This project is supported by the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education and Daegu City budget, involving six industrial complex corporations in the Daegu area and the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Mold Industry Cooperative Association to provide customized employment support for vocational high school students. This year marks its second year.

Last year, 195 students completed the program, and 60 of them found employment. This project includes participation from six industrial complex corporations: Daegu Seongseo Industrial Complex, Dalseong 1st Industrial Complex, West Daegu Industrial Complex, Daegu 3rd Industrial Complex, Geomdan Industrial Complex, and Daegu Dyeing Industrial Complex.

This year, considering the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education explained that they are making prior preparations to ensure field training can proceed while complying with COVID-19 prevention guidelines, including subscribing to group insurance to prepare for safety accidents during the training period at each industrial complex. The recruitment quota for this year's program is 170 students. As a result of the application for participation, 229 students from 14 schools applied.

Lee Hwa-wook, Director of the Convergence Talent Division at the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education, said, "In the prolonged situation of COVID-19, the local Industrial Complex Management Corporation and Mold Cooperative are taking the lead in discovering and matching companies where field training can be conducted, which is a great support for students," adding, "We hope that through the activation of this project, local companies and local talents can achieve a 'win-win' relationship."
