The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing vocational training participation among individuals aged 65 and older in order to enhance their employability. According to the research findings, the educational background and economic activity status of the elderly significantly impact their participation in vocational training. It was confirmed that economic activity and vocational training are closely related to the capacity development and increased employability of the elderly. Moreover, a considerable number of elderly individuals express a continued desire to work, and this group tends to participate more in vocational training. This underscores the importance of promoting vocational training among the elderly and developing suitable models, which holds significant policy implications. Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, education, economic activity, desire to work, and pension income affect participation in vocational training. This highlights the necessity of formulating specific strategies in government support policies, particularly for those with lower educational backgrounds. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of approaches that encourage vocational training participation, especially among those with lower pension income.

The purpose of this study is to grasp the difference in vocational education and training and vocational competency according to the career movement path, targeting middle-aged Koreans (ages 40 to 64) who have experience in vocational mobility. A survey was conducted for a month in February 2020, and among the 1,224 data, 845 middle-aged adults who had moved within the last 5 years were selected. First, 69.0% of them moved to work, and 48.2% of them moved to 'employment→employment'. Second, among all groups, 80.6% did not participate in vocational education and training. Third, the 'employment→employment' group had the highest perception of job basic ability and job competency and job seeking skills compared to other groups. And the job competency of middle-aged workers who moved from 'employment to unemployment and housework (childcare)' appeared to be slightly lower than those of other groups.

과학교육은 학생들이 장차 과학 기술분야의 직업을 추구하도록 하는 것을 그 중요한 결실의 하나로 잡고 있다. 현재 한국은 과학과 기술의 발전을 교육의 주요목표의 하나로 삼고 있으며, 정부에서는 보다 많은 영재를 과학 기술분야로 유치하려고 여러 가지 정책을 펴고 있다. 그러나 이러한 정책도 결국은 학생이 과학 기술분야로 모여들지 않으면 그 효과가 없게 된다. 그런 점에서 학생들이 어떤 이유로 과학 기술분야를 선택하는지 혹은 기피하는지 그 원인을 아는 것을 중요한 과제라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 과학 및 기술분야의 직업을 갖게 되는데 결정적인 역할을 하는 고교생의 문 이과반 선택에 있어 그 진로결정에 영향을 주는 제 요인들을 규명하는데 목적을 두고있다. 연구대상은 대구시내외 남 녀 고교 1학년생 109명(문과 56명, 이과 53명)이었으며 조사방법은 설문지법을 사용하였다. 조사결과는 학생들의 문 이과반 선택에는 장래직업, 대학전공, 적성, 학과목에 대한 능력, 흥미 선호도, 가족 및 주위의 권유 등이 주요요인임을 보여주고 있다. 그중 문과를 지원한 학생들은 대체적으로 자신의 적성 이과과목에 대한 능력부족 인식, 내신 및 학력고사에서의 성적취득용이성 등 주로 자신의 내적 동기와 관련된 요인들을 들고 있는데 비해, 이과를 지원한 학생들은 밝은 직업전망, 가족 및 주위의 권유 등 외적인 동기도 큰 작용을 하고 있음을 보여 대조를 이루고 있다. 또 문과를 지원한 학생은 이과가 공부하기가 어렵고 성적을 올리기도 힘들어 이과를 기피한 경향을 보이는데 반해 이과 지원자는 문과를 기피하여 이과로 왔다는 응답은 별로 없는 점이 대조를 보였다. 본 논문은 이러한 결과가 던져주는 시사점과 과학교육의 개선책에 관한 제언을 제시하면서 결론을 맺고 있다.

Promoting job growth and quality has been central to developing countries to reduce poverty for decades. In this regard, Nepal is not unique in its need to develop effective TVET programme as it is considered showing positive association with workforce development and productivity. While the copious academic literature has highlighted upon staff training programme in general education, it encounters lack of adequate attention in the field of TVET education. The purpose of the study is to identity and prioritise the professional development needs for the teachers of TVET sector in Nepal. A sample(N=317) of Nepalese teachers from seven provinces were asked to answer the scale. The Borich needs assessment model was employed to assess the perceived level of importance and present preferred training modules among 29 teaching subjects. Moreover, a quadrant analysis using 2×2 matrix was used as a diagnostic tool to denote overriding training topics. The result shows that following competence skills constructs were perceived to be in high need of enhancement as well as in existence of discrepancies: 'occupational characteristics of TVET trainer', 'training needs analysis and curriculum development', 'curriculum development based on national competence standard(NCS)', and 'Institution management evaluation'.

The purpose of this study is to derive implications for establishing vocational training education policies in Korea by investigating COVID-19 countermeasures in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, which are representative vocational education training countries. The implications derived from the survey of leading countries in vocational education training are as follows. First, in order to respond to COVID-19, face-to-face vocational education training was quickly converted to online education. Second, the system was strengthened to overcome the crisis of the apprenticeship system, especially the British and Australian governments established a special budget for the apprenticeship system. Third, due to COVID-19, blended learning has become a new standard education model, accelerating the digitalization of vocational education training. Finally, leading countries in vocational education training are promoting the development of the edutech industry to support online education. This provides important implications for the direction of change in vocational education training in South Korea.

This paper investigates the characteristics of Japanese vocational education and training(VET) system and its recent changes with regard to the labour market changes under the long-term economic depression. The employment system model of Marsden(1999) is used as an analytical framework. By the review of 'the debate of intellectual skill', it is pointed out that the fundamental characteristic of Japanese VET system lies in forming multi-functional workers by the internal promotion in connection with the OJT-focused enterprise training along the job-competency rank system. In this system 'the skill as work-competency' is not institutionalised. By the long-term depression this type of internal labour market (ILM) has been under serious changes. By the policy analyses it is made clear that the direction of its change is not toward the collapse of the ILM. A series of labor market and VET policies does aim at sustaining the ILM by the introduction of the unified job qualification system, which is expected to institutionalise the widening external labour market into the craft-based labour market.

The goal of vocational school is to provide students with basic skills and help develop them to have satisfactory careers. With the knowledge they have learned, it helps them to find their interests and aptitudes when they graduate. The government is putting a lot of effort into clarifying the goal accomplishment and the vision proposals of vocational schools, and the structure-oriented guidance controlled by the government is thought to be very influential to the social structure and individual perceptions. Social stereotypes(discrimination) and perceptions that can be the core of a social structure need to be transformed for people to be fulfilled in their careers in the upcoming advanced Korean society. The important solution is to form correct values and a system of career selection which can ensure a stable future for students. Therefore, to carry out research regarding training human resources in terms of students from vocational schools' landscape architecture majors in an approaching method with a new perspective, we analyzed education plans from vocational schools in 11 regions, textbooks used in common, governmental publications regarding career education policies of vocational schools and questionnaires from students who are majoring in landscape architecture at vocational schools. As a result, we were able to find out the types and the frequencies of career-occupation education at each school through analysis of education plans and the necessity to control the amount and the level of the contents for high school students to have careers in analyzing textbooks. In addition, in Ministry of Education, Science and Technology's analyzing career education policies of vocational schools, we figured out the government's policies and directions of training. From the questionnaires from students majoring in landscape architecture, we were able to compare and analyze the satisfaction level of students on career education(education plans), textbooks, governmental career policies and career selection.

신(新)산업 발굴 및 신(新)고용창출을 위한 대안으로 창업정책이 확대 및 확산되어 지고 있다. 이러한 시대적 상황 속에서 창업의 성공을 높이기 위한 교육이나 연구가 계속 되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 직업을 선택하거나 새로이 창업을 하고 조직에서 각자의 역할을 진행하는 과정에 개개인이 타고나고 특성들에 대한 고민이 함께 되어야한다. 경제성장 및 정량적 고용창출의 목적을 넘어 창업가들이 직업적 가치를 위한 자아실현 관점에서 창업가 육성을 고민해야 할 시점이 될 것이다. 이러한 만족스러운 직업을 갖게 하는 것이 진정한 의미에서의 국가의 역할이라 할 수 있을 것이다. 즉, 창업가 육성에 관한 관점을 소유권과 시장보호 및 개척의 관점을 넘어 국민의 생애 만족도를 높이기 위한 창업교육과 정책에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 창업 시 만족도와 성과에 영향을 줄 수 있는 창업가의 개인적 특성 중 성격 5요인(BIG5)을 중심으로 기업가정신과 성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴봄으로서 개인의 어떠한 특성이 주요하게 작용하는지 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 국내 창업의 다수를 차지하고 있으면서도 어려움을 겪고 있는 소상공인 중 외식업, 의류업, 커피전문점, 미용업 등의 자영업자를 대상으로 본 연구를 진행하였다. 연구를 통해 창업성과를 높이기 위해 성격 5요인이 모두 중요하게 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다. 개방성과 친화성을 바탕으로 만족도를 높은 창업자를 육성하고 외향성과 성실성을 높인다면 실질적인 재무성과로 연결시킨다면 창업의 성공을 높일 수 있을 것이다. 앞으로 창업교육과 정책 방향의 토대를 마련하기 위한 창업자 개인의 특성에 관한 다양한 연구가 시도되어야 할 것이다.

The purposes of this study is to verify additional demand of students for secondary vocational education, and draw political implications. To meet the purposes, firstly we analyzed current policies on the secondary vocational education. Second, we divided additional demand of students for secondary vocational education into practical and potential demand. Practical demand by students who would like to take further vocational education in secondary education system includes students who hoped to enter vocational high school however they failed to go, the first or second year students who transferred from general high school to vocational high school, and the third year students who are in general high school would like to take commissioned vocational courses. Potential demand is an additional demand for secondary vocational education in a society perspective. This includes a student who downgraded employment even though they entered college or university after graduated general high-school. Comparing the result of this study with the entrance quota of vocational high-school, additional demand of students for secondary vocational education showed that accounted for 61.2 percent of the entrance quota year 2015. Specifically, potential demand accounts for 31.7 percent of the entrance quota for vocational high school and practical demand accounts for 29.5 percent.

We have developed art and career convergence class for career recognition through drawing a neighborhood job map. Thus, we want to expand the students' career recognition. 3 Classes were conducted in 16 elementary school students from 5th to 6th. Through pre & post-questionnaire, and the interviews with the students' work, job recognition with job value and job prejudice, self-understanding and career attitude were analyzed. As follows. First, students' job recognition was expanded. The ability to identify the needs, values and purposes of jobs has improved. Changes in job values that all jobs are worth have occurred and job bias has changed. Second, the career attitude changed on the basis of self-understanding. Thus, in the context of deciding the job demanded by the society rather than the student's will, art and career convergence class was effective in career recognition.
