Human Resource Development Trend & Environment

  • The era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution characterized by super intelligence and super connectivity has arrived
    - In order to realize a smart government and build a strong foundation for new industries of the future, it is necessary that the government community understands what the 4th industrial revolution is about
  • The emergence of a smart learning society where everyone has a smart device
    - Demand for the latest EDU-TECH based learner-centered smart learning including micro-learning*
    * Ubiquitous learning opportunities by providing short videos about 5 minutes or less (Micro learning)
  • Lifelong learning needs rising as the society as life expectancy continues to rise.
    - Expected life expectancy will increase demand for social contributions after retirement
    * Life expectancy trends in Korea (at 60 years old): Male 16.7 years (1995) → 22.2 years (2015) / Female 21.7 years (1995) → 27.8 years (2015)
  • Trainee-centered interactive education demands increasing.
    - To cultivate creative and integrative talents that present new visions and alternatives in a rapidly changing environment, there is a growing need for trainee-centered participatory education to replace one-sided lectures.
    * The government community prefers participatory education such as field experience, debates, and on-site training according to the 2017 Survey of Public Officials to enhance Capacity Building.

Promoting Human Resource Development

    - We will strengthen their competency based on the public official’s life cycles and create a self-motivated learning ecosystem such as lifelong learning-friendly public service culture.
    - We will develop customized talents in preparation for a rapidly changing future, and plan to lay the groundwork for achieving innovation in human resource development by providing training programs such as participatory training.
