Overview
The Vocational Competency Development Program provides a wide range of training programs and financial support for both workers and employers.
(1) Support for Workers
When employed workers voluntarily participate in job-related training, a portion of the training expenses is subsidized.
In particular, through the “National Tomorrow Learning Card (국민내일배움카드)” system, workers can receive government support to enroll in training courses of their choice for personal and professional development.
(2) Support for Employers
When a company conducts training programs to improve the job skills of its employees, part of the training costs is subsidized.
This encourages corporate investment in human resource development and ultimately contributes to strengthening corporate competitiveness.
