Through this agreement, the three organizations plan to operate a customized workforce development program that provides hotel service job training and on-site internship opportunities from July to December this year for youth preparing for independence who wish to work in hotels.

Since May, the Child Rights Protection Agency has been promoting the program and recruiting trainees nationwide in collaboration with agencies dedicated to supporting independence.

The Korea Tourism Organization will conduct hotel service job training and customized information and communication technology (ICT) practical training in the hotel sector, while AAK plans to operate an on-site internship program linked to recruitment at 11 Accor Ambassador-affiliated hotels in Korea for two months starting in November.

Lee Jaehwan, Vice President of the Korea Tourism Organization, said, “This hotel sector employment support program is significant as a case where government agencies and private companies cooperated to create practical jobs by reflecting the job-seeking needs of youth and the hiring needs of tourism companies.” He added, “The Organization will continue to provide quality jobs to vulnerable employment groups and discover and promote cooperative projects with the private sector to resolve employment issues in the tourism industry.”
