중소기업근로자의 일학습병행제 현황과 개선방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study analyses a Work and Learning dual system in small business workers. By jointly considering current situation, achievements, and encountered problems, I propose introduce novel alternatives to enhance the efficiency of the system. This system, which is created by the connection between schools and enterprises, combines theoretical teaching at schools and practice and work at enterprises. There are 1-2 days for studying at schools and 3-4 days for practice and work at enterprises every week. The purpose of the work and learning dual system is to train highly skilled people, who have real abilities rather than just degrees. Although the work and learning dual system, which has been started recently, is facing many difficulties, it achieves several significant accomplishments. Hence, it is necessary to expand, strengthen, and promote the program so that it can be developed more successfully. The first difficulty is the enthusiastic participation of enterprises. Therefore, the government needs to promote enterprises to take part in by reducing tax, facilitating import and export, supporting juridical issues, and so on, so that enterprises can easily access the program. The next difficulty is the lack of infrastructure and teachers, trainers at enterprises. To achieve good results, we need to have highly skilled teachers, trainers at enterprises. In Korea, the work and learning dual system mainly focuses on three industries, which are machinery, telecommunications, and electronics. This fact implies that expanding the program is necessary. In addition, the connection between schools and enterprises is still not close. This is an important problem to be solved. Furthermore, salary for the program’s participants is also a problem. The salary is a little higher than the minimum wage but lower than what a normal person can get. Hence, the program needs support as well as investment from enterprises and government. It is also important to hold pre-system classes so that normal students can experience the program easily. Since the work and learning dual system has been started recently, it is difficult to collect extensive data for the essay. I hope that related essays in the near future will provide specific and clearer plans, methods to the program successfully.
