Abstract

This study aims to propose improvement measures and curriculum development strategies to maximize the educational effectiveness of the workforce training program conducted within the Carbon Materials Specialized Materials-Parts-Equipment (MPE) Cluster. An analysis of the relationship between educational satisfaction and skill improvement rates, based on participants' characteristics-such as age, educational background, and job position-revealed a significant positive correlation between these variables. In particular, program content, training facilities and environment, and operation time were found to have a statistically significant impact on skill improvement rates Based on these findings, the existing single-track program, which focused on skilled workers and managers, was restructured into a three-stage customized curriculum consisting of beginner, skilled worker, and executive management levels. Furthermore, the courses were subdivided by company type (common, material/intermediate goods, and prod- uct/application companies) to strengthen field-oriented practical competencies. The proportion of theoretical and practical sessions was also adjusted according to each stage to simultaneously enhance satisfaction with training duration and maximize educational effectiveness. By differentiating the ratio of theoretical to practical hours at each training stage, the revised curriculum improved satisfaction with operation time while maximizing educational outcomes. This study provides empirical evidence to enhance the effectiveness of in-service training and offers both academic and practical implications by presenting a systematic approach to talent development policies within the carbon industry cluster.
