Under the agreement, the provincial Job Foundation will serve as a bridge connecting AI talent development with industrial demand. The main tasks include: supporting employment and settlement through nurturing young engineers; providing AI and digital job re-employment training for middle-aged workers and women with career breaks; and promoting excellent AI companies and supporting their recruitment by utilizing the Gyeonggi Job Portal "Jobaba."

Previously, since last year, the provincial Job Foundation and Siheung City have been jointly planning and promoting the "Young Engineer Development Project," exploring a sustainable manpower supply model for local industrial complexes. With this agreement as a turning point, they plan to expand the scope of the project and further advance a virtuous employment cycle system that supports young people's local settlement and employment linkage.

Yoon Deokryong, CEO of the provincial Job Foundation, said, "The success or failure of restoring the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, that is, the 'manufacturing renaissance,' ultimately depends on securing practical AI talent with strong on-site capabilities," adding, "We will firmly establish a life cycle-based AI vocational training system covering youth, middle-aged workers, and women with career breaks, and actively support manufacturing companies in Siheung so that they can grow into AI innovation companies with global competitiveness."
