This training was co-hosted with the Job Division of the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province Economic Promotion Agency, and more than 30 business owners and workers from both paid and free job placement agencies in the county participated.

According to the Employment Security Act, job placement business workers are required to complete four hours of mandatory training each year to enhance their expertise in job placement and counseling, as well as their sense of professional ethics. Until now, related training had only been offered online, and this is the first time that Hongcheon County has organized an in-person group training session.

The training was conducted by a labor attorney invited by the Economic Promotion Agency and a career counselor from the Hongcheon County Customized Job Support Center for Enterprises.

The lectures covered practical matters related to the Employment Security Act and the overall field of labor, focusing on key content necessary for fostering a sound labor market and establishing order in job placement services. In addition, recent cases of illegal handling of industrial accidents, which have been highlighted as a problem, were introduced to improve on-site understanding.

An official from Hongcheon County stated, "We prepared practical training to enhance the professionalism of workers and reduce confusion in the field, in line with the trend of strengthening legal and ethical standards for job placement businesses," adding, "We will continue to review the necessary support to create a stable employment environment for county residents."
