Gwangju Buk-gu, Free Support for Mandatory Online Training for SMEs

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 23rd that it will provide free support for the '5 Mandatory Legal Education Online Lectures' to reduce the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the district.

SMEs above a certain scale are required to conduct mandatory legal education for their employees every year, but work interruptions and instructor hiring costs have been burdensome.

Accordingly, Buk-gu has commissioned a training institution designated by the Ministry of Employment and Labor to open online courses for the five mandatory legal education subjects: ▲Sexual Harassment Prevention ▲Personal Information Protection ▲Workplace Disability Awareness Improvement ▲Retirement Pension ▲Workplace Bullying Prevention, providing free lectures and certificate issuance services.

In particular, Buk-gu plans to increase online education completion rates by conducting quiz events for participants and offering small prizes.

SMEs wishing to receive the education can apply by email to EduA Training Center starting from the 27th, and for more details, they can check the Buk-gu Office website or contact the Industrial Complex Support Division.

Moon In, the head of Buk-gu Office, said, "Many SMEs face difficulties such as paying fines for failing to conduct mandatory legal education," adding, "We will strive to alleviate the difficulties of SMEs by providing free online education courses and help create a healthy working environment."
