Gyeonggi Province to Hold "Comprehensive Fair Trade Education" for SMEs and Mid-sized Companies

Gyeonggi Province will conduct a "Comprehensive Fair Trade Education" program for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as mid-sized companies.

On May 19, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will hold the "2026 Gyeonggi Province Comprehensive Fair Trade Education" every Friday from June 12 to July 10, aiming to strengthen the practical fair trade capabilities of SMEs and mid-sized companies.

This program is designed to help fair trade officers within companies systematically understand relevant laws and enhance their practical skills to effectively respond to the various legal disputes that may arise in the field.

The curriculum will cover a wide range of key statutes and real-world cases closely related to corporate activities, including the Fair Trade Act, the Large-scale Distribution Business Act, the Franchise Business Act, and the Subcontracting Act. In particular, the subcontracting section is divided into basic and advanced courses to enable level-differentiated learning.

In July, the basic course on the Subcontracting Act will be held on July 3, and the advanced course will conclude the program on July 10.

The training is primarily for employees of SMEs and mid-sized companies, who will be given priority in course registration. Others interested in participating may register as stand-by candidates. Applications can be submitted through the Thomson Reuters Education Center website (www.lawnbedu.com). Both the training and materials are provided free of charge, and participants who complete the program will receive a certificate issued by Gyeonggi Provincial Government.

Last year, Gyeonggi Province also held five in-person training sessions and online lectures for executives and employees of local mid-sized and small enterprises, public institutions, and aspiring entrepreneurs, with a total of 447 participants from 146 companies.

Seo Bongja, Director of Fair Economy Division at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We hope this training will provide an opportunity for SMEs and mid-sized companies in the province to systematically understand fair trade regulations and actively address issues arising in the field," adding, "We will continue to support the establishment of a fair trade order going forward."
