Ministry of the Interior and Safety to Conduct Job Competency Training for Faculty of Mongolia National Governance Academy from 21st to 25th

Experience Sharing on Development and Operation Cases of Short-Term Training Programs for Public Officials

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s Local Autonomy Human Resources Development Institute announced on the 20th that it will conduct a five-day online training course titled "2022 Mongolian National Governance Academy Faculty Capacity Building" for 25 professors from the Mongolian National Governance Academy from the 21st to the 25th.

This training course is designed to enhance the job competencies of the faculty members of the Mongolian National Governance Academy and will be conducted under the theme of ‘Development and Operation of Short-term Training Programs’ through online pre-learning, lectures, presentations, and discussions.

Mongolia urgently needs to develop short-term training programs due to the increased mandatory training demand for civil servant capacity building following the 2017 revision of the Mongolian Civil Servant Act and the 2019 Mongolian Education Plan Strategy. Accordingly, the National Governance Academy requested customized training, including the transfer of Korea’s specialized experience in developing short-term training programs, to address the shortage of teaching staff and strengthen teaching capabilities related to short-term program development.

The Local Autonomy Human Resources Development Institute reflected these topics requested by the Mongolian government and structured a tailored program for the training participants, including ▲ Korea’s civil servant education and training system ▲ Competencies of civil servants in the New Normal era ▲ Development, operation, and practice of short-term training programs ▲ Sharing of Korea’s best practices in short-term training program development. In particular, this training course also provided time for experts to diagnose the issues and current challenges of the National Governance Academy’s short-term training programs and to jointly consider directions for improvement.

Meanwhile, since 2000, the Local Autonomy Human Resources Development Institute has operated 193 capacity-building training courses for civil servants from developing countries over 21 years. The training courses for Mongolian civil servants, including the capacity-building course for the faculty of the Mongolian National Governance Academy, have involved 42 courses with 2,210 participants to date.

Yoon Jong-jin, President of the Local Autonomy Human Resources Development Institute, said, “Since signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Mongolian National Governance Academy in 2002, we have been promoting continuous capacity-building projects for 20 years, building mutual trust and friendly relations,” adding, “We hope this training will be a valuable opportunity to strengthen job competencies and contribute to Mongolia’s national development.”
