Ajou University was selected as an operator of the joint training center for the "Talent Fostering Project Tailored to Provincial and Industrial Needs," which is being carried out by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea.


The Project aims to raise the employment rate and the performance competitiveness of employees at small- and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) located in Gyeonggi Province by resolving the mismatch between workforce supply and demand. The University is set to receive up to two billion won per year in operational funds, with the project period set at a maximum 15 years and subject to annual evaluations.


The Corporate Support Center under the Ajou University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, which operates the Program, will be responsible for training a combined total of about 6,600 people in 2016, including 630 people in 21 courses for improving the performance of current SME employees and 100 people in two courses for prospective employees.
 

Director Joong Soon Jang of the Corporate Support Center said, "The Project is a great opportunity for Ajou to prosper and develop along with the local community and industries, and it will contribute greatly to the growth of the provincial economy and job creation by further developing collaboration among industries, academia, and the government."
