[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] A career development program has been established for workers in the aviation industry, designated as a special employment support sector by the government.

The Korea Labor Foundation under the Ministry of Employment and Labor announced on the 24th that, together with the Seoul Southern Employment and Labor Office, it will provide a career development program for retired and soon-to-retire aviation workers over three days from the 24th to the 26th.

The aviation industry was hit hard by the spread of COVID-19 and was designated as a special employment support sector. This program was created to minimize the unemployment period of retired and soon-to-retire aviation workers and to support rapid job changes and career transitions.

The program consists of step-by-step career transition support services including emotional support, job-specific training, reemployment capability enhancement training, and follow-up management.

In particular, through job-specific training such as customer satisfaction (CS) instructors, pet snack experts, and florists, the program offers job experience courses to enable participants to enter similar fields based on their existing careers.

Additionally, reemployment-related education such as one-on-one career consulting, job placement, and linkage with vocational training programs from related organizations is provided.

The foundation plans to gradually expand the target participants to include aviation maintenance workers and airport economic zone employees through this program.

Jung Hyung-woo, Secretary General, said, "Through this program, we will actively support aviation workers with professional job skills to manage their careers and transition to new fields, overcoming the employment crisis situation."
