Utilization of Water, Wind and Solar Photovoltaic Resources and Green Jobs
Get PDFThis paper examines the utilization of water resources, wind resources, and solar photovoltaic resources and related green jobs, the qualification system, and government policies. While green sectors will create new jobs, they will also lead to a redefinition of many existing job profiles pertaining to water resources, wind resources, and solar photovoltaic resources.
New green jobs pertaining to the fields of water, wind, and solar photovoltaic resources will require new skills in both new and emerging occupations. The securing of a well-trained workforce capable of meeting this challenge is predicated on the establishment of the necessary education, training, and qualification systems. In this regard, in growing fields such as those related to water, wind, and solar photovoltaic resources, the focus should be on the development of skills related to energy efficiency and renewable energy implementation.
This study introduces the following policy suggestions. First, a plan related to the nurturing and utilization of human resources in the fields of water, wind, and solar photovoltaic resources should be drawn up.
Second, there is a need to guarantee qualifications and the enhancement of public relations where training programs are concerned. Third, the expansion of the industrial sector's participation in the cultivation of human resources involved in green industry technology and the related technical skills should be brought about. Fourth, it is important to conduct a systematic and continuous survey of jobs in fields related to water, wind, and solar photovoltaic resources. Fifth, there is a need to revamp the laws and institutions related to water, wind, and solar photovoltaic resources sector. Sixth, individuals, enterprises, and the government should actively seek to cope with environmental changes in terms of technology. Seventh, occupational information should be released, and career counseling pertaining to changing jobs should be enhanced
Establishment of Career Education Model Linked to Curriculum(Ⅲ)
Get PDFThis research has as its ultimate goal the establishment of an operational model that effectively integrates the school curriculum's educational objectives and motivations with 'career development capacity.' Such an undertaking is designed to simultaneously develop curriculum education and the career competencies needed throughout one's life.
This year's research involved proposing an operational model for curriculum integration that was based on the fundamental research conducted during the first year (2008), and the career education materials collected as part of the pilot study carried out during the second year (2009). Thereafter, the third year of this research was completed with the formulation of career education teaching and learning materials.
This study unfolded as follows. First, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the Provincial Education Offices, a total of 6 schools (two elementary, middle, and high schools) were chosen as 'research schools'. Monitoring measures and surveys were drafted as part of the framework for the analysis of the operational plans pertaining to integrated career education at the research schools, as well as related procedures, and operational results. Second, based on the operational plans for these research schools, curriculum-integrated career education courses were intensively conducted for 1 semester, namely from March to the end of July 2010. In addition, surveys, participant observation sessions, and interviews were carried out in accordance with the above-mentioned monitoring measures established for the integrated career education schools. Third, the effectiveness of integrated career education and the overall adequacy of pilot schools were analyzed. Fourth, based on a comprehensive analysis of the results, an operational model for curriculum-integrated career education was proposed to the research schools. Finally, the data related to integrated career education was modified, developed, and disseminated to the research schools so that they could incorporate integrated career education within their school curricula.
The following results were obtained from the application of integrated career education within the research schools. First, a clear enhancement of the research school teachers' awareness of integrated career education was recorded. Second, when combined with the results of student surveys, we discovered that integrated career education courses had, by a small margin, an effect on increasing students' awareness of career education and career development competencies.
The plan to vitalize integrated career education can be broken down into three levels: central government and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the provincial level, and the frontline school level
The Demand for Vocational High School Graduates and Strategies to Improve Educational Capacity
Get PDFThis research introduces practical strategies designed to enhance the educational capacity of vocational high schools as well as a related road map. To this end, this research investigates the career path of vocational high school graduates, traces the changes in companies' usage of vocational high school graduates, the industrial demand for the workforce produced by vocational high schools, and the changes in the main job performance levels of vocational highschool graduates. In addition, as part of efforts to understand the use that is being made of the workforce that graduated from vocational high schools within each industrial sector, a survey of human resource directors and workers is also performed. Moreover, the Delphi method is employed with experts specializing in vocational high school education as part of attempts to predict the future of vocational high schools. Finally, based on the results of these research processes, a strategy to enhance the educational capacity of vocational high schools is introduced and the related policy implications are examined
Survey on National Skills Outlook(2010)
Get PDFThis study seeks to uncover the stylized facts regarding the supply and demand for skills in the labor market. As part of these efforts, a conceptual and theatrical framework capable of forecasting the skills required by the labor market was constructed. This report consists of two parts. While the first focuses on the related concepts and theories found in previous studies and suggests appropriate skills perspective methods and techniques, the second, based on the above-mentioned theatrical framework, revolves around the collection and analysis of data pertaining to the demand for skills in the labor market.
The ensuing section involves the collection and analysis of the data obtained via a survey of enterprises prepared on the basis of the skills perspective framework. The survey involved the interviewing of members of 1,500 manufacturing industry enterprises using a stylized questionnaire. The survey focused on four overarching aspects: the number of vacancies and the types thereof; the skills shortage and mismatch of job seekers; the skills gap of incumbent workers; and education and training as well as qualifications.
A serious skills imbalance was uncovered in the manufacturing industry. The skills gap and mismatch was found to be more pronounced in the case of new workers than incumbent ones. Thus, the quantitative expansion of the labor market, as well as the skills gap and mismatch has resulted in young graduates facing difficulties finding jobs. On the other hand, this disparity in terms of skills, which is closely related to the manpower shortage affecting small and medium enterprises, is also reflected in occupations requiring craft skills or so-called 'dirty jobs.' Eventually, small enterprises will also face a shortage both in terms of manpower and skills. ..
Study of the Various Domains and Factors Pertaining to Core Competencies
Get PDFThis study seeks to develop a KRIVET Core Competency Model(KCCM). This is to brought about by comparing and analyzing the various competency models developed by KRIVET for each level of education(high school, university) and, based on this fundamental framework, linking the domains and factors of each competency model.
As part of these efforts, examples of competency models developed in Korea and abroad were introduced. The model was verified through four applications of the Delphi method and the holding of meetings of experts on domestic and foreign competency models for each level of education.
Foreign competency models are usually broken down into three categories, namely those for teenagers, those for laborers, and those associated with adults engaged in lifelong education. The competency models for adults engaged in lifelong education include the EFF in the U.S. and the OECD's lifetime competency system. The study also found that competency models are magnified to match industrial demand, can be characterized as educational programs for training purposes, or connected with functions as well as qualifications.

Study on the Qualification of Service Industry(Ⅰ) : Focusing on Health and Social Welfare Service Industry
Get PDFThis study presents measures to improve the qualifications of individuals engaged in the health and social welfare service industry and seeks to derive new qualifications for the industry. These two ends are to be brought about by conducting an in-depth analysis of the state of qualifications in the health and social welfare service industry. In order to achieve this goal, we examined such matters as the distinctive features and scope of the service industry, the state of vocations and qualifications within the health and social welfare service industry, the state of vocations and qualifications within the health and social welfare service industries of foreign countries, the development of new demands pertaining to qualifications, and schemes for the improvement of qualifications.
More specifically, the study delved into the state of qualifications within the industry, the use of qualifications and related laws, as well as the current status, cases, and issues involving areas where private qualifications are prohibited. As far as the development of new demands for qualifications in the health and social welfare service industry is concerned, the study introduced standards for new qualification items (① need for the service, ② job specialty, ③ need to recognize capability, ④job potential) and, based on these standards, developed newly required qualifications. The research methodology employed in this study included documentary analysis and research, the formation of a council of experts, surveys, and interviews.
In terms of policy suggestions, the study identified a clear need to deregulate those areas where private qualification is prohibited, to form a qualification disputes mediation committee, and to bring about a more qualitative management of the private qualification market and a thorough examination of the development of qualifications
Economic Effect of Qualifications in Korea(Ⅰ)
Get PDFThis study deals with the economic effect of the certification & license system in Korea, with a special focus on the national certification and licenses provided by the various Korean ministries. Because of a general lack of data and research methodology-related difficulties, most research papers on this topic have focused on national technical certification or private certification.
This study has two purposes. First we'll study the economic effect of the qualification system in Korea, a topic which includes the study of the correlation between GDP(or price index) and qualifications. The other purpose is to conduct case studies of some certifications provided by Korean ministries. Such an endeavor is designed to facilitate the development of a framework for the evaluation of the various national licenses and certifications provided by ministries. To this point, no study of the effect of national licenses and certifications, and in particular their impact of consumers, has been conducted.
This study adopted Kleiner's model of analysis. This model was used to ascertain the gains and losses associated with licensed occupations. Figure 1 is the study model. This model was also used to analyze whether there is a positive or negative relation to the net quality provided to consumers. This can be regarded as the ultimate aim of this study. ..
Innovation of Lifelong Vocational Competency Development System(Ⅲ)
Get PDFThere is no consensus about the efficiency or effectiveness of vocational training in Korea. More to the point, although several studies have been conducted on the topic, differing conclusions have been reached.
However, most researchers agree that vocational training has not contributed to enhancing equity. In this regard, the government has failed to provide special unemployment training-related support to the most at risk members of society, who are treated the same as regular unemployed individuals. Moreover, as employee training is provided through employers, less-skilled employees in dire need of additional training find themselves unable to receive the necessary training. This is because employers prefer to train more capable employees so as to be able to more easily retrieve their training outlays. What's more, SMEs by and large provide less training to their employees than large companies.
These problems can only be resolved through the reconstruction of the vocational training system in Korea, a task which was addressed in the present study. Some of the main issues which were tackled herein are the collection and distribution of training funds, the improvement of unemployment and employee training, the enhancement of colleges' participation in vocational training, and the construction of a training infrastructure.
In order to enhance the equity of training distribution, this study introduced a revamped version of the training fund collection and distribution system. In addition, policies designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of unemployment training were suggested. Several policy suggestions were also made herein pertaining to the expansion of SMEs' participation in employee training. Meanwhile, as part of efforts to enhance the overall quality of training, policies that revolved around the expansion of colleges' participation in vocational training were introduced. Finally, several policies designed to increase training participants or potential candidates' access to training-related information, as well as to provide them with substantial consulting, were also suggested in this research
고령 근로자의 조직문화와 직무에 대한 인식
Get PDF○ 기업들의 평균 정년은 56.8세 정도이며, 정년제 적용 근로자의 약 90%가 60세 이전에 강제 퇴직을 하는 실정임.
- 우리나라 근로자의 퇴직 및 은퇴는 55세를 기점으로 급격히 증가하는 경향이 있음.
○ 우리나라 기업의 연공임금 관행은 연령 증가에 따라 임금과 생산성의 괴리를 확대시키는 경향이 있고, 이는 기업들이 고령 근로자의 실질적 퇴직 연령을 낮추려는 압박 요인으로 작용함.
○ 본고에서는 인적자본기업패널 3차(2009)년도 조사 자료를 이용하여 55세 이상 고령 근로자의 조직문화 및 직무만족, 조직몰입에 대한 인식을 분석함.

Articulation of Anthropological Local knowledge to the Professional Education Program in International Development Cooperation
No full text우리나라의 공적개발원조(ODA) 규모가 급속히 확대되면서 국제개발협력 석, 박사 프로그램이 많이 생겨나고 있지만 이들 프로그램은 모두 지역학 혹은 지역전문가 없는 국제개발학 프로그램이다. 지역연구 없는 국제개발학 프로그램은 사회공학적 입장에서 개발도상국에 대한 외부 개입과 지식 및 기술이전을 당연시하며 개발 엔지니어들만을 양산한다. 인류학이 국제개발에 기여하는 것은 지역지식의 발굴과 활용을 통해서이며 인류학적 지역연구는 지역주민들과 연구자, 개발행정가 및 전문가들과의 소통을 촉진시킨다.
이 연구에서는 최근 확산되고 있는 대학(원)에서의 국제개발학 프로그램의 현 수준과 실태를 비판적으로 검토하고 인류학적 지역연구 없는 국제개발학 프로그램이 지니는 근본적 문제점과 한계를 지적하고 그 대안을 모색하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 향후 인류학 석, 박사과정을 국제개발 전문가 양성 프로그램과 연계하여 세계의 다양한 빈곤 지역에서 인류학 현지연구를 통해 지역전문가를 양성할 수 있는 구체적 방안도 제시하고 있다.This article critically reviews the professional education program in international development cooperation in Korea compared with the international development studies program in the European countries. Contrary to the Korean universities, there is a strong connection between international development studies and anthropological area studies in the high-ranking graduate programs in Europe. Anthropological perspectives based on local knowledge support voices of the local peoples and promote mutual understanding and communication. Anthropological area studies can provide contextual, local and practical knowledge with international development studies program.
Using the many concrete illustrations of various partnership programs between the anthropology and development studies, the article suggest many possible paths forward by outlining some proposals for a more effective, efficient and appropriate area-oriented professional education programs articulated with local knowledge which is vital to development expertises
