Chungnam Province Attracts 'Marine Police Talent Development Institute' to Dangjin

Chungnam Province has succeeded in attracting the Korea Coast Guard Human Resources Development Institute to Dangjin. Last December, Chungnam attracted a branch of the National Police Hospital, and last month, the Chungnam Traffic Broadcasting Station, continuously bringing public institutions into the region.

According to Chungnam Province on the 12th, the site selection committee for the Korea Coast Guard Education Institute finalized Dangjin City as the candidate site for the preliminary feasibility study of the Korea Coast Guard Human Resources Development Institute.

Chungnam Province plans to complete the construction of the Korea Coast Guard Human Resources Development Institute by 2027 on a 206,145㎡ site in Hapdeok-eup, Dangjin City, with a total investment of 170 billion KRW.

The Korea Coast Guard Human Resources Development Institute is a specialized training institution for current employees, providing education necessary for Coast Guard duties such as patrol, safety, and investigation.

Once the facility is established in Dangjin, 189 people including 65 professors and 124 administrative staff will reside there. The maximum daily capacity is expected to be 440 people, with an annual capacity of 7,000.

Following the site selection results, Chungnam Province plans to complete a preliminary feasibility study within the year and apply for the official preliminary feasibility study next year.

Kim Tae-heum, Governor of Chungnam Province, said, “The attraction of the Korea Coast Guard Human Resources Development Institute to Dangjin will serve as a catalyst for revitalizing the local economy and balanced development,” adding, “Chungnam Province will spare no support to help realize the Coast Guard’s vision.”
