[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization announced on the 25th that they will conduct customized employment-linked training in the tourism sector targeting the middle-aged group (ages 45-64) and women with career interruptions.

This training, conducted in four sessions for a total of 100 participants until October, is designed to cultivate various tourism-related jobs such as barrier-free travel practitioners, trekking guides, village hotel managers, and travel platform hosts, and to link participants to employment. The curriculum includes not only theory but also field training tailored to the characteristics of each region.

The first session is currently underway in Jeju from May 24 to June 4, and applications for each session can be made through the employment support platform ‘WorkWiz’.

Do Hyun-ji, head of the Tourism Future Talent Development Team at the Korea Tourism Organization, stated, “Through education reflecting the latest trends, we hope to revitalize local tourism, resolve job mismatches in the regions, and discover suitable jobs for the middle-aged and women with career interruptions.”
