Gwangju Chamber of Commerce Expands Operation of Cyber Training Center for COVID-19 Response

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Chairman Jeong Chang-seon) announced on the 13th that it has expanded the service area of its Cyber Training Center to include legally mandated education in order to strengthen the job competencies of employees of small and medium-sized enterprises.

The Gwangju Chamber’s Cyber Training Center provides non-face-to-face job competency enhancement training and legally mandated education for companies that feel burdened by conducting in-person training for current employees due to COVID-19.

For job competency enhancement training, an ID is issued that allows unlimited access for one year after application, supporting about 130 courses in various fields such as the use of work-related programs (Excel, CAD, etc.), automotive and semiconductor theory, foreign languages, management, and marketing to help improve skills.

In particular, about 700 microlearning courses are prepared, which allow learners to acquire job-related knowledge, trends, and information in short sessions of 3 to 5 minutes, enabling convenient learning during breaks or commuting time.

Legally mandated education is provided free of charge to member companies of the Gwangju Chamber through Edu A Company, a Ministry of Employment and Labor certified entrusted institution, covering five courses: sexual harassment prevention, workplace bullying prevention, disability awareness improvement, retirement pension, and personal information protection.

The training period can be adjusted according to the applying company, and individual IDs and certificates of completion are issued to all employees, enabling customized training tailored to the company’s situation.

For application methods and detailed information about the Gwangju Chamber Cyber Training Center, please refer to the Gwangju Chamber website (www.gjcci.or.kr) or contact the Member Business Headquarters at 062-350-5883.

A representative of the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry said, “We understand that companies are having difficulties conducting training for current employees due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation,” adding, “Although the situation is difficult, we will strive to ensure there is no disruption in strengthening the job competencies of local company employees by conducting both cyber training and in-person training.”
