The Service has established a system linking 170,000 job listings through business agreements with four organizations: the Korea Employment Information Service, the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled, the Korea Senior Citizens Association, and the Construction Workers Mutual Aid Association.

The artificial intelligence (AI), trained on 70,000 excellent cases of vocational return of industrial accident workers, recommends occupations with high employment potential to industrial accident workers through this system.

By utilizing this system to provide timely job information, the Service plans to raise the vocational return rate of industrial accident workers to 78% by 2027.

Among approximately 120,000 workers who completed industrial accident treatment last year, about half were unable to return to work due to being non-regular workers or having physical disabilities.
