[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The government will launch a non-face-to-face lifelong vocational skills development platform service starting on the 27th.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor announced on the 26th that it has completed the first phase of advancement for 'STEP,' a smart vocational training platform.

STEP, which opened in October 2019, is a platform that supports vocational training without spatial and temporal constraints. Since its launch, about 180 people have utilized STEP's e-learning content for free.

New features such as the establishment of a smart blended training online classroom (LMS) have been added. Training institutions can lease STEP's LMS to conduct remote and blended training.

All content of STEP can now be accessed through the STEP mobile application (app).

The Ministry of Employment will begin the second phase of advancement for STEP starting in April and plans to continue this until February 2023.

Through the second phase, a customized vocational training recommendation system tailored to each life cycle will be established.

Song Hongseok, Director of the Vocational Competency Policy Bureau at the Ministry of Employment, said, "This functional overhaul will promote the transition from group-based vocational training to digital-based training and contribute to enhancing the quality of training."

Im Kyunghwa, Director of the Online Lifelong Education Center, said, "We will accelerate efforts to build a 1:1 customized platform for every life cycle."
