Trainees undergoing the 'Beauty Healthcare Coordinator Training Program' last year.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Dong-Eui Institute of Technology was selected as a ‘Participating Institution in the Vocational Competency Development Training Project’ for this year on the 21st, following last year.

The project, hosted by Busan City, is a future-adaptive, field demand-customized vocational training that supports digitalization and labor transition, supplying skilled personnel to local companies.

More than 30 institutions, including Dong-Eui Institute of Technology, were selected as training institutions for the project.

Starting in March, Dong-Eui Institute of Technology will operate a ‘Beauty Healthcare Coordinator Training Course’ with 20 trainees.

The Beauty Healthcare Coordinator is a customized new occupation that provides comprehensive professional skin beauty-related services in the anti-aging industry and medical tourism industry. The Department of Medical Skin Beauty oversees the education operation and trainee management.

The training course consists of a total of 400 hours of theory and practice, expert lectures, and industrial site visits.

The university has signed employment agreements with medical institutions in the Busan area, such as New Style Plastic Surgery and J-Lin Clinic. These institutions will support practical training to help trainees quickly adapt to the field.

Dong-Eui Institute of Technology will recruit trainees starting in March. Anyone aged 18 or older residing in Busan who is unemployed can participate in the training.

Vulnerable trainees can receive full support for training fees, and employment success allowances will be provided to those who find jobs after completing the training.

Department Head Jang Jeong-hyun said, “We will do our best to create new jobs and revitalize the local economy so that Busan can leap beyond an international tourism city to become a medical tourism hub in the post-COVID-19 era.”
