Issuance of First Construction Worker Grade Certificate... 30-Year Formwork Carpenter Expert
Construction Workers Mutual Aid Association Holds Event at Seoul Branch on the First Day of Grade System Implementation, the 27th
[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The first case of issuing the Construction Worker Skill Grade Certificate has emerged. Kim Yangsik (61), the team leader at the Hillstate Gwanak Newfore site and who has dedicated 30 years to the formwork carpentry field, has achieved the 'Special Grade' level.
The Construction Workers Mutual Aid Association announced on the 27th that it held a gratitude event for the first recipient of the 'Skill Grade Certificate' at its Seoul branch. On the first day of the grade system implementation, Kim received the certificate corresponding to the Special Grade among the levels of Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Special Grade.
On the same day, Song Inhoe, chairman of the Mutual Aid Association, introduced the grade system to Nam Minhyeok, a construction worker in his 30s who visited the Seoul branch for consultation, and guided him to receive the certificate. He was classified as an intermediate worker in the plant instrumentation equipment occupation.
The grade system is a framework created by the government since 2017 to increase jobs in the construction industry. It plans to use skill grades based on experience as a foundation to improve employment conditions and wage structures.
Applications for issuance can be made by accessing the Mutual Aid Association's 'Construction Skill Plus' website via mobile or PC, or by visiting the association's branches or centers.

Chairman Song said, "The construction sites are rapidly aging, and the inflow of domestic workers is insufficient to the extent that the succession of skilled personnel is at risk," adding, "I hope the grade system will present career prospects to construction workers, make construction sites jobs that young people aspire to, and serve as a foundation for employment improvement."
