Technological Changes and Implications for Education and Training
The speed of technological changes is continuously accelerating. The faster the speed of technological change gets, the greater the changes in learning, and the needs for learning. In addition, the learning is required to be of a higher quality. As learning ability gains in importance, people who are more highly educated have more opportunities than less-educated people. As the speed of technological change is so great, the contents and scope of education have changed. Some nations have focused more on basic and general courses than specific courses.
We studied the relationship between education and technological changes. Specifically, we investigated the adaptation of education to the high speed of technological change. We researched how Korean education policies developed from 1990-2008, which was a period of great technological change. And we surveyed the French education and training system in accordance with the accelerating change in technology
Research on Exploring Overseas Jobs for Youth
This research project seeks to explore overseas jobs for young people by providing labor market information and job information as the need for constructing the infra system of job information and career path information of overseas job markets is requested, so that the youth can develop their vision and capacity overseas.
The current status of the overseas job market can be analyzed in terms of a PPM model in which push effects and pull effects interact. The push factors include the unemployment rate, self-development, and employment in Korea. The pull factors are better opportunities for wages, education, and employment, better living conditions, and more opportunities to do business in other countries. The overseas employment assistance programs carried out by the government, local authorities, and universities are below target level due to the world economic recession, with the interaction between push factors and pull factors also sub-par...

The Method for Collecting and Constructing Overseas Career Information for Youth
This research project attempts to present the method for collecting and constructing overseas career information for young people as the infra system of overseas job information, wherein overseas career path information is not available. The current career information for youth mainly focuses on domestic information.
Overseas experts were interviewed to provide information on the importance of overseas employment, essential information for overseas employment, such as types of occupations and countries, the methods by which overseas job information is transferred to the youth, and success factors and strategies for obtaining overseas jobs.
The following suggestions are presented to collect and construct the overseas career information of youth. The government needs to design a long-term road-map for collecting and constructing overseas career information, introduce overseas career information to students through foreign language-teaching teachers, operate public websites for overseas job information, construct a system linking and evaluating overseas internship, service programs and overseas employment, and, finally, develop and distribute an overseas job world report.
The policy suggestions are presented as follows. Universities are requested to change the perception of overseas jobs among college students, provide the basic materials and information on overseas employment, develop student communication skills, build an overseas employment assistance center, and, finally, establish overseas branches for overseas networks.
Schools at elementary and secondary levels need to provide overseas career and job information to students, link the curriculum and overseas employment, construct a network of overseas career paths and employment for youth, and, finally, utilize a cyber room for overseas experts-students
A Study on Transition of the Labor Market of Intership Workers
이 연구는 한국고용정보원의 「대졸자 직업이동 경로조사:GOMS」를 이용하여 2006년도에 인턴사원을 경험한 사람이 다음 해(2007년)에 정규직 진입 확률과 임금효과를 다른 비정규직 근로형태를 가진 사람과 비교 분석을 하였다. 연구결과 인턴사원의 정규직 진입효과는 다른 비정규직 집단에 비해 17.1% 더 높게 나타나고 있으며 생애 첫 직장을 인턴사원으로 경험한 사람이 2006년에 정규직으로 그리고 2007년에도 정규직으로 생존할 확률은 남성은 70% 이상, 여성은 60~70%인 것으로 나타났다. 한편 정규직 진입 후 임금변화를 D-D 모형으로 분석한 결과 인턴 경험자는 다른 비정규직경험자에 비해 12.9% 정도 임금증가효과가 있는 것으로 나타난다. 특히 인턴근로를 공공부문(정부, 공사)에서 경험한 사람에 비해 민간 기업에서 경험한 사람일수록 정규직 진입과 임금에서 유리한 것으로 분석되었다. 또 인턴 경험은 남자의 경우 노동시장에서 전공-직무일치도가 높은 일자리를 찾아가는 데는 긍정적 영향을 주지만 ‘재직 중 구직탐색확률’을 낮추는 데는 매우 제한적으로만 효과가 있었다.This study exploited a regular job transition probability and wage effect in the 2007 between treatment (intern as non-regular worker in 2006 years) and control group (another non-regular workers in 2006) by using the GOMS panel data of KEIS. According to research results, the regular transition probability of treatment shows more 17.1% than control group. Those who have experienced work in the early years of life as intern worker have regular transition probability of 60%~70% from 2006 until 2007 year. Meanwhile, in the D-D analysis, it appeared 12.9% wage effect in the treatment group. The effect of intern has remarkable appeared in private sector than public sector in terms of the wage and regular transition probability. Finally, intern has given youth people a positive effect to finding the matching job with their major
Analysis of the Effect of the NURI Project on the Employment Rate Utilizing Decision Tree and Hazard Model
누리사업이 취업률에 미친 효과를 분석하기 위하여, 누리사업단과 비교집단의 취업률을 분석한 후, 의사결정나무분석과 해자드 모형을 활용하여 취업성과에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하였다. 주요 결과는, 첫째 누리사업단의 취업률이 2004년에는 여러 집단 중에서 가장 낮은 수준을 기록했으나, 점차 상승하여 2008년에는 가장 높은 수준을 기록하였다. 따라서 누리사업에 선정된 사업단의 취업률이 빠르게 증가한 것을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 의사결정나무분석 결과를 보더라도 누리사업은 취업률을 향상시키는 데 효과적이었다는 것을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 해자드 모형 분석결과에 의하면, 취업소요기간이 점차 단축되는 모습을 보여주지 못하였다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그러나 2008년부터 시작된 금융위기의 영향을 감안하면, 취업소요기간의 단축 여부에 대해서는 단정적인 결론을 내리기 어렵다. 따라서 향후 유사 사업 기획 시에, 누리사업이 취업률을 향상시킨 요인에 대한 본 논문의 분석결과를 활용하는 것이 바람직하다.In order to analyse the effect of the NURI project on the employment rate, this paper first reviewed the trends of the employment rates of NURI project teams and other comparable groups, and then analysed factors affecting employment rate performance. The major results were the followings: First, the gain in terms of the average employment rate of NURI teams was found to be significantly higher than those of other comparable groups. Second, decision tree analysis also confirmed that the NURI project was successful in enhancing employment rates. Third, hazard model analysis showed that the time needed to get employment did not exhibit consistent reduction. This was partly due to financial crisis began on 2008. Therefore, it is desirable that the lessons from the NURI project can be applied to any future government-funded projects
The Influence of University Students' Acquisition of Qualifications on School-To-Work Transition
자격의 노동시장 성과를 정확하게 파악하기 위하여 대학 졸업생 가운데 교육?의약계열을 제외하고, 국가자격, 민간자격, 국제자격 보유자를 대상으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 다른 조건이 같다면 국가자격 보유는 정규직 취업 가능성(18.6%)을 평균적으로 높이나, 구직활동으로부터 탈출(▽7.9%)을 늦추고 있다. 민간자격 보유는 정규직 취업 가능성(16.4%)을 높이고, 구직대열에서 이탈(7.9%)을 촉진하고 있다. 국제자격은 취업제고 효과가 없으나 미약한 임금 프리미엄(3.4%, 유의수준 8%)을 누리고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전체 자격에서 재직기간연장효과는 발견되지 않았다.
이는 대학 졸업자 노동시장에서 자격이 특정분야 구인요건의 충족으로 작동하는 것이 아니라, 구직자 취업준비의 한 요소로 여겨지고 있음을 암시한다. 그러므로 대학생들은 취업하고자 하는 직무분야에서 인정되는 자격을 선별하여 취득하고, 과도한 취득 비용이 예상되는 국제자격 등은 제한적으로 접근할 필요가 있다.This study analyzes the qualifications obtained by university students as part of their preparation for future employment. It reveals that the possession of national qualifications(18.6%) and private qualifications(16.4%) were found to contribute to heightening employability. However, as far as wages were concerned, a slight increase(3.4%) was revealed only in international qualifications. A period analysis finds that the possession of private qualifications does heighten the employment rate (7.9%). However, not one of these three kinds of qualifications have any influence during the actual period of employment.
These results imply that qualifications do not help to satisfy job requirements in specific job fields, but rather are regarded as an element of job seekers’ preparations for employment. Therefore, university students focus on acquiring the qualifications in the particular field where they desire to seek jobs
