[Job Post] Reporter Kim Jin-ho = Korea Institute For Education & Evaluation Advancement (CEO Seong Dae-geun) announced that it signed an MOU with the Happy Dream Social Cooperative for the training and employment of foreign nursing care workers and care managers in the conference room of the West Daegu Industrial Complex Management Corporation last month.

The agreement ceremony was held in the presence of Seong Dae-geun, CEO of Korea Institute For Education & Evaluation Advancement Chang Mya-Mya Thaw , director (Chan Chan), Happy Dream Social Cooperative Chairman Shim Jong-kyung, and auditor Kim Nam-ki.

Korea has become an aging society since 2017 due to the effects of low birth rate and increased life expectancy. By 2025, the proportion of people over 65 years of age will exceed 20% (10 million people) of the total population, making Korea a super-aged society. It is expected to enter.

As such, Korea's population is rapidly aging at a rate unprecedented in the world. However, in contrast, many people are employed in occupations such as nursing assistants or care managers who can provide professional management, such as caring for or caring for elderly people. The number of people doing this is severely lacking.

The government is also aware of this situation and problem and is taking steps to solve it, but it seems realistically difficult to solve it as soon as possible, and furthermore, it is not easy to train foreigners to become experts in the relevant field while speaking fluent Korean. It is expected that it will not.

In relation to this, the Korea Institute For Education & Evaluation Advancement said that it plans to focus on overseas projects among the existing projects and send professional manpower trained overseas to Korea to supplement the manpower in each occupation that is lacking in Korea.

However, not all personnel can be sent or employed without qualifications, and they are provided with thorough training to acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to Korean language, nursing, and nursing so that they can engage in the relevant occupation immediately after entering Korea. These workers are trained as customized working personnel, and the relevant personnel must pass required exams such as national exams in order to meet the requirements for visa issuance to enter Korea and the qualifications for engaging in the relevant job.

Through this agreement, Korea Institute For Education & Evaluation Advancement will focus on nurturing professional manpower, and among them, Korean language education will be handled by Director Chan Chan, and Happy Dream Social Cooperative will provide training based on federations formed nationwide. The explanation is that the focus is on finding employment opportunities and employing the trained manpower.

At first, we plan to train and employ about 3,000 people by conducting a pilot project targeting Myanmar people living in Myanmar and Myanmar people staying in Korea, and we plan to gradually expand the country in the future.

Through this, if the relevant personnel meet all the qualifications required for visa issuance and employment, they will be 100% able to obtain employment and work as nursing care workers or care managers at related facilities such as hospitals located in Korea.

CEO Seong Dae-geun said, “This agreement may be an opportunity to supplement the manpower that is lacking in Korea, but in the end, I think this is helpful not only to Korea, but to both countries. “As an educator, I have been promoting education projects both domestically and overseas, and I have felt that Korea is currently facing a shortage of manpower in most occupations, regardless of nursing care workers or care managers,” he said.In order to solve these problems, the time has come to focus on training and sending overseas manpower by turning to overseas rather than domestically. Moreover, since Korea has been designated as a multicultural and multiracial country, the number of foreign students and workers will increase in the future. “The situation is bound to increase, and as we approach a society where we all live together, we must provide high-quality education for all the things we need, and we must make sure that this is beneficial to everyone, not just one group,” he said.

Chairman Shim Jong-kyung said, “The problem of the lack of guardians and caregivers currently working in nursing hospitals or related facilities has been consistently raised for a long time. In addition, there is a lot of demand for care services at home rather than in a facility, but we are unable to provide them due to a lack of manpower in the field itself,” he said. “Rather than accepting waiting people who wish to enter the facility, Even existing residents are in a situation where they have to be kicked out, and they are working without being able to wash or sleep on site, so the shortage of care workers is a very serious situation.Supply and demand are also urgent. Therefore, if professional manpower who can speak Korean is trained and put into the field through this agreement, we expect that it will be of great help and help to all related facilities nationwide.”
