According to the agreement, both organizations will mutually cooperate in areas such as ▲scholarship support for work-study dual system learners ▲vocational competency development training support for employees of partner and affiliated companies ▲establishing a cooperative system to share know-how in managing qualifications related to electricity, energy, and resources.

Starting this month, the HRD Service will recruit and select scholarship recipients among work-study dual system learners participating in energy-related SMEs nationwide. Together with East-West Power, they plan to support scholarships for about 200 young people by next year.

Last year, the HRD Service and East-West Power provided scholarships to work-study dual system education graduates working at energy companies in the Ulsan area on a pilot basis, and this agreement will expand the program nationwide.

Kim Dong-man, Director of the HRD Service, stated, "The HRD Service will continue to collaborate with more organizations to fulfill the social mission of public institutions."
