Kim Min-seok, Director General of the Vocational Competency Policy Bureau at the Ministry of Employment and Labor, also emphasized, “In preparation for the post-COVID-19 era, it is necessary to expand vocational training support linked to employment retention for paid and unpaid leave workers, centered on capable joint training centers such as large corporations.
