[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do is recruiting trainees for the "Port Skilled Workforce Training Course" until the 23rd to prepare for the surge in demand for port skilled workers due to the development of Jinhae New Port and its hinterland, and to promote youth job creation.

Port skilled workers are on-site port laborers responsible for operating and handling cargo handling equipment at the port.

Trainees will complete theoretical and practical training aiming to obtain three essential port-related certifications (container crane, forklift, and trailer) required for employment.

Starting this year, the program is operated as a provincial government-funded project to establish an excellent port workforce supply system led by Gyeongnam.

With full funding from the province, trainees can receive the training free of charge without any additional costs.

The province signed a consignment agreement in January with the Korea Port Training Institute (Busan Training Center), a specialized institution for port skilled workforce training.

The Korea Port Training Institute plans to conduct an intensive short-term training program for six weeks from March 2 to April 9.

The application period is from the 1st to the 23rd. Applicants can visit the Provincial Maritime and Port Department with the required documents or apply by registered mail.

Meanwhile, looking at the certification acquisition rate and trainee satisfaction over the past two years, both have been very high at over 90%.

Additionally, a one-stop system linking training and employment after the training period is being established.
