[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] The Small and Medium Business Corporation announced on the 27th that it is recruiting the second batch of trainees for the advanced course for employees of smart factories.

This advanced course for smart factory employees is a package based on job training that includes trainee-led smart factory improvement projects and benchmarking visits to pilot factories. By conducting on-site practical projects concurrently, it supports the enhancement of smart factory operation management and problem-solving capabilities of employees. The training is free of charge.

The second recruitment targets 270 employees working at small and medium-sized manufacturing companies that have introduced smart factories. Unlike the first recruitment, the application process has been changed to allow one participant per company, enabling more companies to participate.

The training will be conducted over 160 hours across 3 months. The detailed curriculum consists of ▲online theoretical education (48 hours) ▲offline practical training using the Smart Factory Learning Center (32 hours) ▲company on-site projects through expert visits (48 hours) ▲pilot factory tours (12 hours) ▲and a conference (6 hours).

The Small and Medium Business Corporation plans to conduct the training while adhering to quarantine guidelines considering the COVID-19 situation. It is also preparing plans to switch to non-face-to-face training depending on the social distancing level. The recruitment period for trainees is until the 16th of next month. Applications can be submitted online through the Small and Medium Business Corporation website.

Kim Hyungsu, Head of the Job Division at the Small and Medium Business Corporation, said, "As the government's smart factory dissemination project increases the number of companies adopting smart factories, the demand for professionals who can effectively operate them is also rising. We will take the lead in nurturing professionals equipped with problem-solving skills for smart factories through systematic training focused on job education and on-site improvement projects."
