The purpose of this study is to extract policy orientations to Lifelong Vacational Education(LVE) by analysing OECD`s lifelong educational policy orientations from the viewpoints of Human Resources Development(HRD). The background of this study is based on the increasing awareness of the importance of HRD and demands for constructing a system of LVE that provides a circulating link between work and study. To develop suggestions for lifelong policies based on the viewpoint of HRD, this study analysed the recommendations from OECD member countries` educational ministers` forum and analysed the circulating (reciprocal?) model of education which is the basis of OECD lifelong educational policies. Circulating model of education is a fresh theoretical approach toward lifelong education based on the economics of learning that denotes a lifelong circulating learning links and reallocating the sequence of learning among work, study, and leisure. Also, this study analysed recent strategic policy implementations by OECD such as planing for significant increase of investment, ways to strengthen the link between world of work an world of learning, and strategies for building infrastructure for lifelong learning. The conclusions of this analytical study are as follows; to construct a viable system of LIVE for HRD it is recommended that 1) lifelong provision of learning opportunities should be provided based on a sustainable links between formal and non-formal institutions of learning; 2) an responsive links should be solidified between the world of work and world of learning; 3) infrastructure for lifelong such as strong basic and general education programs and educational programs for promoting the importance of learning should be firmly supported ; 4) there are serious needs for viable measures that will accomodate and significantly enhance investments on lifelong education; 5) constructing a lifelong learning community for all requires commitments and cooperations among and from constituents including national and local governments, industries, academics, employers and workers.
