[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do held a 'Certification Award Ceremony' on the 10th at the provincial office for Kim Yeon-ho, CEO of Duyeonjae in Andong City, and Moon Han-jo, CEO of Yacheondoye in Goryeong County, who were selected as the '2020 Gyeongbuk Province Master Artisans'.

The 'Gyeongsangbuk-do Master Artisan' was selected through document and interview evaluations conducted by the Human Resources Development Service of Korea and Korean Masters after the project announcement in September. This year, Gyeongbuk Province explained that detailed evaluation criteria such as patents, papers, and volunteer activities were assessed according to the standards of Korean Masters.

The Gyeongbuk Province Master Artisan system is designed to support technicians to contribute to industrial development with pride and self-esteem. Those selected as Master Artisans receive a monthly technology encouragement grant of 300,000 KRW for five years, along with various support such as exhibitions of their works.

Lee Cheol-woo, Governor of Gyeongbuk Province, encouraged, "Since Kim Young-hwa, the 2017 Gyeongsangbuk-do Master Artisan, was selected as a Korean Master in the field of metal material manufacturing, I hope those selected this year will also work harder and challenge themselves to become Korean Masters."
