[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement announced on the 18th that it has been selected as a 'Best HRD (Human Resource Development) Institution in the Public Sector for 2020.'

The 'Best HRD Institution Certification Project' is a system that certifies institutions with excellent human resource management and development systems as outstanding institutions. It has been implemented by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Employment and Labor since 2006.

Public institutions certified as outstanding institutions can use the certification mark for the next three years. They also receive benefits such as exemption from regular labor inspections for three years and benchmarking training for outstanding institutions.

The Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement has been selected as a Best HRD Institution for three consecutive times, including in 2014, 2017, and this year.

This year, it is reported that the institute received high evaluations for significantly increasing its training budget compared to the previous year, achieving a 100% mandatory employment rate for persons with disabilities, and diversifying educational programs to strengthen employee capabilities.

Moon Jeon-il, President of the Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement, said, "It seems that continuous efforts such as expanding investment in human resource development and operating customized training programs based on employee demand surveys were highly evaluated. As a specialized robot institution, we will continue to devote ourselves to human resource management and development to provide high-quality services."
