[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea will hold the "14th Human Resources Development Conference" over two days on the 10th and 11th as part of the "Month of Vocational Competency" events.

This event, which has been the largest in Asia in the field of human resources development, will be conducted via online live streaming without on-site attendance, considering the extension of enhanced social distancing level 2 measures.

Especially this year, under the slogan of the Month of Vocational Competency, "In an Era of Change, Turning Crisis into Opportunity," a variety of keynote speeches and concurrent sessions will be held on topics such as cultivating future-oriented talents and organizational management strategies to prepare for the post-COVID-19 era.

The first keynote speech, held on the 10th via live video streaming, will be delivered by Tony Bingham, President of the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), discussing the importance of talent development and global trends under the theme "The Present and Future of Human Resources Development."

On the 11th, keynote speeches by KAIST Professor Jeong Jae-seung and former Cultural Heritage Administration Commissioner Yoo Hong-jun are scheduled, offering perspectives on the future of Korean society and directions for human resources development.

Additionally, five concurrent sessions will be organized to share excellent private sector cases and government policy directions in response to the popularization of untact (non-face-to-face) technologies and the transition to a digital economy.

A special forum related to the cultivation of core digital practical talents (K-Digital Training), a major task of the "Korean New Deal Comprehensive Plan," will also be held. It is expected to be an opportunity to share best practices and visions of innovative training institutions.

Im Seo-jung, Vice Minister of Employment and Labor, stated in a congratulatory video, "Since the core driving force preparing for the new future is ultimately 'people,' I hope this valuable time of diverse lectures, where we exchange and grow by contemplating future talent development strategies, will be meaningful."

This event will be conducted through a specialized online platform that enables real-time listening to lectures, responding to speakers' quizzes, and asking questions, facilitating non-face-to-face communication. Detailed information on lecture materials and speakers can be found on the official website of the Human Resources Development Conference.
