[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Regional Human Resources Development Committee, operated by the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry, held the '2022 Gwangju Area Vocational Competency Development Project Integrated Workshop for Advancement' on the 15th and 16th at Sono Belle Byeonsan, Jeonbuk, co-hosted with the Korea Polytechnic University Gwangju Campus Apprenticeship Support Group.

This event was organized to share excellent cases of the regional work-study dual system through presentations by participating companies and to promote the continuous activation of the work-study dual system. Sixty participants attended, including companies participating in the work-study dual system, joint training centers for employees and students, related organizations from Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeonbuk, support organizations, and training center professors.

The event began with a case presentation by ODTec Co., Ltd., the grand prize winner in the corporate field instructor category at the 2022 National Work-Study Dual System Excellent Case Competition, followed by excellent case presentations from Gwangju-based outstanding training course operating companies, Sale Mold Co., Ltd. and Seungkwang Co., Ltd.

In particular, the excellent case presentation by Deputy General Manager Kang Hee-seok of ODTec, a silicon semiconductor company, attracted great interest from attendees for developing video training materials and systematic programs for new employees to address difficulties related to specialized work terminology.

Additionally, Gwangju companies Sale Mold Co., Ltd. and Seungkwang Co., Ltd. were evaluated as making significant efforts to establish the project by linking high school-level work-study dual system and P-tech projects, creating a virtuous cycle where learning workers grow into corporate field instructors.

Notably, Executive Director Kang Gil-won of Sale Mold Co., Ltd. and Deputy General Manager Kang Hee-seok of ODTec have obtained the Master of Engineering degree (Smart Factory Convergence_L6) from the 'High-Skilled Meister Course,' a master's program in work-study dual system at Korea University of Technology and Education, which currently has six students nationwide.

They are striving to enhance corporate on-site education capabilities and promote learning for learning workers in the new normal era, bringing innovative changes to the development of the work-study dual system in the Honam region.

Lee Myung-soo, Secretary General of the Gwangju Human Resources Development Committee, stated, "In the new normal era, we will contribute to advancing the work-study dual system to the next level, helping solve youth employment issues and serving as a channel to create corporate productivity and competitiveness."
