According to Statistics Korea, the number of employed persons and the employment rate have shown a steady increase this year, with the number of employed persons in March rising by more than 300,000 compared to last year. Looking at the employment status, the number of employed youth also increased by about 150,000 compared to last year, and it is expected that the domestic employment market will improve further once the full-scale employment season begins in the second quarter of this year, coinciding with the hiring period of large corporations.
Meanwhile, domestic IT companies such as Samsung and Naver are conducting large-scale recruitment to strengthen their capabilities, leading to a bright outlook for employment in the IT sector. As IT companies are eager to recruit talent with expertise in various fields, job seekers are flocking to the IT sector in large numbers.
Currently, South Korea's employment market is highly volatile due to COVID-19, but systematic systems and policies to respond to COVID-19 have been established, raising expectations for economic recovery. Furthermore, with the government actively supporting job creation, the employment market conditions are expected to improve gradually.
Although it is still difficult to judge that the employment market has fully entered a recovery phase, positive signals from the IT sector employment market, expectations for economic recovery, and the government's proactive job creation projects are expected to gradually improve employment market conditions. Therefore, job seekers preparing for employment should focus on enhancing their capabilities to increase their competitiveness in the job market.
Accordingly, the employment specialized academy ‘Korea Education Group’ is securing the employment capabilities of its students through a systematic employment support system to flexibly respond to employment market trends.
Korea Education Group has established employment support services optimized for employment, including practical-oriented curricula, student mentoring and employment systems, curriculum setting, practical consulting, and field visits. Through a 1:1 mentoring system that closely manages students from education to employment, students' opinions are collected and reflected in real time. Instead of relying solely on existing tools, classes focus on practical experience through YouTube, artwork, and other hands-on training to cultivate talent optimized for real-world application.
In particular, Korea Education Group was the first in the industry to open a portfolio class, maximizing students' employment competitiveness. By enhancing the competitiveness of portfolios, which are important indicators in evaluating job seekers' abilities, the group is focusing on increasing students' employment success rates.
Currently, Korea Education Group leads the employment market through specialized education in various occupational fields, including ▲SBS Academy Computer Art Academy ▲All That Beauty Academy ▲Korea Culinary Art Academy ▲SBS Academy Game Academy ▲Korea IT Academy ▲Good Job Academy Computer Art Academy ▲Korea Flight Attendant Academy ▲Korea Ground Staff Academy ▲Korea Employment Academy.
A representative of Korea Education Group stated, “Amid the worsening employment market due to COVID-19, we have established an employment-optimized system that is practically necessary for students, strengthening their employment capabilities,” and added, “We will provide the best employment education service in Korea that can properly respond to the rapidly changing employment market, contributing to overcoming unemployment and increasing employment rates.”
