Changwon Special City Conducts Practical, Field-Oriented Professional Training for Facility Management

Professional Training for 50 Facility Management Officials
A Step Toward Enhanced Field Application Skills

Changwon Special City in South Gyeongsang Province will conduct a two-day professional competency training program for 50 facility management public officials from September 25 to 26, 2025.

Professional Competency Training Site.

The city previously held three separate training sessions in the first half of the year, divided into civil engineering, architecture, and urban planning fields. With this training in the second half, a total of four systematic and continuous professional competency enhancement sessions will have been provided throughout the year.

This training is being conducted as a commissioned program by the Construction Technology Education Institute. The main topics include: ▲ Practical work in construction project design and supervision ▲ Prevention of serious accidents and smart safety management ▲ Practical training in design Value Engineering (VE).

In particular, hands-on training using actual design drawings and statements of work will allow participants to directly identify design errors and areas for improvement, and to develop practical skills for field application such as cost calculation and risk assessment.

This session also newly introduces 'practical training in design VE.' Design VE is a technique that can reduce unnecessary costs while maintaining the function and quality of a design in the early stages of a project. Construction supervisors can apply this technique directly in design reviews and during project implementation. It is expected that this will help not only with efficient budget execution and improved design quality, but also with raising the standard of public facilities in ways that citizens can directly experience.

Jung Sooki, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, stated, "This training, following the one held in the first half of the year, is not just a lecture but a practical, field-oriented program. In particular, the design VE course, introduced for the first time this year, will greatly contribute to budget efficiency and quality improvement. We will continue to expand professional competency training that directly impacts citizens' safety and quality of life."
