LH Signs Business Agreement with Education Offices and Specialized Construction Association to Support Employment of Specialized High School Students

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 6th that it has signed the 'LH Somyeongteo' agreement with the Gyeonggi and Incheon Offices of Education and the Korea Specialty Contractors Association to support on-site practical training education for specialized high school students and to establish a systematic employment support system.

LH Somyeongteo means 'a nurturing place for small masters.' It is a practical skills education program focused on on-site work, where highly skilled technicians with over 20 years of experience pass on their know-how to specialized high school students and others. The program is operated by the LH Customer Quality Innovation Team, and this year's education started last month and will continue for three months until January next year.

This agreement was made to establish a one-stop support cooperation system from the recruitment stage of trainees in collaboration with specialized high schools to ensure smooth participation in the Somyeongteo program, and subsequently to support skills education, employment in specialty construction companies, and settlement as skilled technicians.

According to the agreement, the four organizations will discover tasks for the on-site practical training program and regularize meetings with related organizations. Through sharing various information, they plan to systematically cultivate skilled technicians in the construction field.

With this agreement, it is expected that through organic cooperation among LH, the Offices of Education, and the Korea Specialty Contractors Association, more young skilled technicians will be trained, which will lead to long-term improvement in the quality of domestic apartment complexes and other buildings.

Kwon Hyukrye, Head of LH Public Housing Headquarters, explained, "Through this agreement, we expect to establish a system that allows more young people to settle as skilled technicians in the construction field," adding, "We will continue to strengthen cooperation with related organizations to expand youth job creation."
