A Study on the Vocational Training System in Korea

This study is about the vocational training system. I used market failure and government failure concept to analyze the vocational training system and the characteristics of training in Korea. Free market system may fail to provide adequate incentives for the acquisition of skills. For a long time economists used to believe that the Invisible Hand would invariably lead people to acquire skills as long as the resulting benefit to society exceeded the associated cost. This is based not just on an analysis of market failures, but also on a recognition of important government failures in the process of policy design and implementation. The purpose of this study was to present vocational training system in relation to training effect. In consideration of the above, this study is aimed to find out problem of the current vocational training and to suggest the direction toward the vocational training system in Korea. Some findings of this study were as follows: First, operational training system should be more flexible because changes of industrial need are so raid competitive rule based on performance in managing training institute be emphasized for optimizing. Second, the socioeconomic functions and role for the vocational training and construe the training program from the realistic angle to conduct and to provide efficient training with in-put(provide company) and out-put(production relationship) from the economical point of view, and to uphold the individual behavior, adjustment, comprehensiveness and judgement of the training offered. Third, support of vocational training should be reinforced by industrial demands. Importance must be placed on growth of national power and strengthening science and technology upon the study on the vocational training systems of the selected Japan, Germany, England, and U.S.A., and in pursuit of new ways in the training of technology manpower, and to consider the educational - industrial cooperation relationship from the point of combination and link-up of school education with out-of - school vocational and concrete contexts to link up mutually with public vocational training institutes, and training by enterprises. Fourth, capacity of training in private sector by expanded through supporting from government. Fifth, mobility among training programs be improved vertically and horizontally, therefore, upgrading, updating training and replacement training should be accelerated more than the current basic training the future. Competitive rule based on performance in managing training institutes be emphasized for optimizing, and more investments be expected for producing some experts including instructors in vocational training field. In conclusion, now is the time for technical training by the private sector rather than public sector(government-lead system) and various aspects are to be considered attributable to enhance national power along with the establishment of a supporting system for female manpower and the disabled.
