Earlier, Gyeonggi Province recognized the need to train experts due to the accelerated structural change in the automobile industry centered on internal combustion engines, and trained 317 experts in 2023 and 864 experts in 2024 through this project. For the new course, employment rates of 45.9% and 52.8% were achieved annually compared to the number of graduates.
