[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Se-ryeong] On the 7th, the Gyeongnam Office of Education held the first Employment Support Council meeting of 2022 to discuss plans for learning-centered on-site training for vocational high school students.

The council was attended by 15 officials from related organizations including the Gyeongnam Office of Education, Gyeongnam Province, Changwon Branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Gyeongnam Regional Small and Medium Venture Business Administration, Gyeongnam Employers Federation, Korea Industrial Human Resources Corporation Gyeongnam Branch, Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Gyeongnam Human Resources Development Committee.
