Gwangju Chamber of Commerce Completes Practical Training for Local Company Employees

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Chairman Jeong Chang-seon) announced on the 28th that it has successfully completed practical training courses for employees of local companies this year.

The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce has been conducting annual training sessions and briefings in areas such as tax/accounting and human resources/labor to improve the job skills of company employees. This year, in compliance with quarantine guidelines due to the spread of COVID-19, a total of 40 sessions were held, with 1,336 participants completing the courses.

Additionally, in July, through a business agreement with online education specialists LetUin and EduACompany, they added non-face-to-face training and established a cyber training center to alleviate trainees' anxiety about group training amid COVID-19 and to provide convenience in terms of training time and location.

In particular, the cyber training center posted more than 130 diverse courses including foreign languages, management/marketing, and legally mandated education, resulting in approximately 4,500 trainees from 82 companies completing courses over the past five months.

By conducting customized practical training led by professional instructors alongside online courses, the Chamber expanded educational opportunities to strengthen the competitiveness of local company employees despite the prolonged COVID-19 situation, contributing to the revitalization of the regional economy.

Meanwhile, due to reduced group activities amid COVID-19, the Chamber utilized the 7th-floor large conference room?which had been remodeled last year with the latest facilities but had seen decreased usage?as a training venue, providing high-quality facilities to graduates without a single case of COVID-19 infection reported.

A representative of the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce said, “In 2022, we plan to improve the quality of education by actively utilizing face-to-face lectures by professional instructors and non-face-to-face platforms to develop the practical capabilities of employees of local companies.”
