Abstract

The operating regulations of the undergraduate co-op amended and announced on July 6, 2021 aim to enhance the quality of co-op and improve student rights through the standardized operation. However, among the revisions, 75% of the minimum wage and up to 25% of job training are acting as great difficulties in corporate participation in the co-op. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to review the concept of the co-op and the main contents of the revision of the Ministry of Education's operating regulations, and to examine companies' perceptions and responses. As a result of the study, some companies were not aware of the revision of the notice in detail. In addition, the revisions related to the training support fee was found to be the biggest concern among the corporates, and the burden of job training also existed among the corporates. Based on the research results, policy improvement directions were discussed, and the implications and limitations of this study were also suggested.

지난 2021년 7월 6일 개정된 현장실습학기제 운영규정은 표준화된 현장실습학기제 운영을 통해 현장실습의 질적 내실화 및 학생 권익의 증진을 모색하고 있다. 하지만, 개정 내용 중 최저임금의 75%에 달하는 실습지원비와 최대 25%에 달하는 직무교육 비율은 현장실습학기제로의 기업참여에 큰 어려움으로 작용하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 현장실습학기제의 개념과 교육부 고시 개정의 주요 내용을 검토하고, 이에 대한 기업의 인식 및 대응 현황을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 일부 기업들은 고시 개정 자체에 대해 충분히 인지하고 있지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라, 실습지원비 관련 고시 개정이 기업 현장의 큰 고민인 것으로 나타났으며, 직무교육에 대한 부담 또한 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 결론에서는 정책적 개선 방향에 대해 논의하였으며, 본 연구의 시사점과 한계점을 제시하였다.
