[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Gumi City selects the ‘2022 Gumi City Master Craftsman’ from skilled technicians who have worked long-term in industrial sites and have greatly contributed to the industrial and technological development of Gumi City.

The eligibility criteria for the Master Craftsman include being registered as a resident in Gumi City after the announcement date, having directly worked for more than 15 years in one of 92 occupations across 38 fields such as mechanical design (Ministry of Employment and Labor Notice No. 2022-15), having no prior selection as a Master Craftsman in the same field in other cities/provinces or as a Korean Master, and receiving recommendations from heads of companies in the Gumi area or presidents of industry associations.

The final selection is made for those whose skill level and character serve as a model for other technicians, who have outstanding achievements in process and quality improvement or social contribution. After document screening, interviews, on-site inspections (if necessary), and final evaluation, up to two individuals are selected and receive a monthly incentive of 200,000 KRW for three years.

Marking its 11th year this year, the Gumi City Master Craftsman selection has chosen a total of 20 master craftsmen since 2012 in various fields such as computer-aided machining, mold making, electricity, and surface treatment, fostering a social atmosphere where skilled technicians are practically favored.

The selected master craftsmen will join the ‘Gumi City Meister Mentor Group’ and engage in various activities such as technical support consulting for small and medium enterprises, career aptitude education for Meister high school students, and social service activities.

The application period is from September 14 to October 14, and detailed information about the Master Craftsman application can be found in the announcement posted on the Gumi City Hall website.
