[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jonghwa] Noroo Paint announced on the 8th that it has been selected as the operating institution for the 2020 'National Human Resources Development Consortium Project' organized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea.

The National Human Resources Development Consortium Project is a program organized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea to promote mutual growth and win-win cooperation between large, medium, and small enterprises. The 'Noroo Technical Training Center' is responsible for operation, and from this year, it will receive up to 1.5 billion KRW annually to run specialized training courses focused on coatings and painting practice.

Established in July to cultivate professional coating and painting technicians, the Noroo Technical Training Center plans to use the project funds received this year to reinforce the latest practical facilities and equipment, focusing on securing infrastructure for practical technical education.

Located within Noroo Paint's Poseung Plant, the Noroo Technical Training Center operates systematic on-site training, core job training, and advanced skill training courses for employees of affiliated companies in the domestic coatings and painting industry. In the future, it also plans to establish a degree program called the 'Painting Professional College.' Those who complete the general training courses will be issued a professional certificate recognized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

Starting in October, four courses will be offered to employees of 107 affiliated companies: automobile repair painting course, basic and advanced water-based paint courses, and automobile repair coating color matching course. A total of 224 participants will attend, and the courses will run until December 22 of this year. All courses are offered as residential training, with tuition, accommodation, meals, and practice material costs fully covered and free of charge.

A Noroo Paint official stated, "Being selected as the operating institution for the National Human Resources Development Consortium means that Noroo Paint's management activities have been recognized," adding, "We will faithfully fulfill our role as a hub for coating and painting technical education to lay the foundation for mutual growth through win-win management with affiliated companies."
