Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation Trains 1,800 Construction Skilled Workers Tailored to Field Needs

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation is launching a program to train 1,800 construction skilled workers tailored to field needs.

On the 30th, the foundation announced that it will recruit 1,800 trainees for field-customized construction skilled worker education in 13 areas including tile work, architectural carpentry, painting, waterproofing, formwork carpentry, construction welding, rebar, masonry, plastering, wallpaper and film (female-specialized), system air conditioner installation, multi-functional workers for apartment complex CS, and interior furniture installation.

The training will be conducted by job type at the foundation’s training centers and 32 private training institutions across 14 cities and counties in the province.

Applicants must be unemployed Gyeonggi-do residents aged 18 or older who wish to work in the construction field. Final trainees will be selected based on interview scores from among the applicants. The training is completely free, and trainees who attend more than 6 hours a day and achieve a total attendance rate of 80% or higher will receive additional training support funds (400,000 KRW per month based on 20 days).

Graduates of the training can also participate in on-site internships at construction sites. During this period, they will receive internship allowances at the level of the Gyeonggi-do living wage.

Applications for the training courses can be made by visiting each training institution directly, by phone, or through the job platform Jobaba. However, the application periods and detailed training schedules vary by training institution and job type.
