Regular Council Meetings to Specify Collaboration Each Month
The Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups held a 'Strategic Collaboration Council' on the 15th as a follow-up measure to strategic personnel exchanges.
On this day, the two ministries recognized the need for inter-ministerial collaboration to resolve the chronic manpower shortage in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and decided to promote collaborative tasks such as strengthening support for outstanding local companies, early employment promotion for closed small business owners, and strengthening linkage with corporate recruitment support.
Specifically, they announced detailed implementation plans for the collaborative tasks to be pursued this year and discussed ways to establish a cooperative system, create results, and expand them. Going forward, the council will be held once a month continuously to regularly check and supplement the progress of each task aimed at achieving results.
Jung Kyung-hoon, Director of Labor Market Policy at the Ministry of Employment and Labor, said, "Through this collaboration, the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups will support companies seeking to hire the talent they need and help vulnerable employment groups secure a livelihood safety net through rapid reemployment."
Kim Woo-jung, Director of Policy Planning at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, said, "Based on strategic personnel exchanges, we will establish and operate an efficient collaboration system between the two ministries," adding, "we expect to create synergy in resolving the manpower shortage problem faced by many SMEs."
