[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Kyungbok University Construction Education Center has launched remote collective training for construction technicians.

Kyungbok University announced on the 17th that it recently held the opening ceremony for the 'One-day Collective Training of 2023 Remote Education for Construction Technicians' at Udang Hall on the Namyangju Campus.

Education for construction technicians is a legally mandated job training conducted every three years, divided into collective training and remote education. Until last year, remote education was conducted for 35 hours due to COVID-19. However, starting this year, one day of 7-hour collective training has been made mandatory.

Kyungbok University operates the one-day collective training for remote education of construction technicians weekly or biweekly according to trainee demand. Courses include professional ethics for construction technicians, experiential smart construction safety (VR·AR), and smart construction technology cases (BIM).

Woo Jong-tae, Director of Kyungbok University Construction Education Center, emphasized, "With smart construction education as our vision to cultivate construction technicians who lead practical capabilities and the global construction market, we will do our best in future-oriented smart construction practical education aiming to nurture talents equipped with practical skills in construction job fields, talents leading technological changes in the construction industry, and talents with global core competencies."

Kyungbok University Construction Education Center was selected as an agency for construction technician education and training by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in April 2021. Kyungbok University was uniquely selected among universities nationwide as a new comprehensive education institution, leveraging the university's advanced educational facilities and smart curricula reflecting the 4th industrial revolution.
