This study examines the paradigm shift in vocational training with the introduction of remote training, which has been conducted fragmentarily by project, to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. It analyzes the operation's problems and limitations by dividing the remote training process from assessment to budget execution by subject, stage, and procedure. Additionally, it collects various stakeholders' opinions to propose improvement plans for the vocational training support system to effectively respond to the paradigm shift in vocational training in the digital and non-face-to-face era. The study assumes that the assessment of training institutions and the training process should be innovated in a way that can accommodate the direction of vocational training in the digital and non-face-to-face era instead of focusing on traditional collective training. Based on this premise, it suggests ways to enhance the pre-approval screening system and the training institution assessment system.

This study aimed to examine the vocational training system and related laws in the United States in the context of digitalization, the methods and scale of support for vocational training expenses, and the outcomes, with the goal of drawing applicable implications for domestic adoption and exploring policy measures. Vocational training in the United States is operated under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) through either a Unified State Plan or a Combined State Plan, as formulated by each state. The WIOA vocational training program focuses on supplying and nurturing a workforce that meets the demands of employers. Notably, significant efforts by the U.S. government have been identified in addressing gaps in vocational training caused by digitalization. Providing educational programs and vocational training that can swiftly respond to technological changes is particularly commendable. Based on the U.S. model, Korea should also aim to move beyond mere skill acquisition to comprehensive competency development in its vocational training and encourage the participation of digitally disadvantaged groups.

Education has recently witnessed a rapid increase in the use of edutech worldwide. This study focuses on Korean workers and explores an edutech-based learning model for vocational education and training. Based on analyses of edutech cases and interviews with edutech experts, a draft edutech model was designed and the validity was evaluated based on two Delphi surveys with a panel of experts in the field. The study's findings suggest that edutech-based employee education and training should prioritize LXP orientation (last CVR=1, last Mean=4.70) , implement adaptive learning through learning analytics (last CVR=1, last Mean=4.90), enhance the human touch effect using edutech (last CVR=1, last Mean=4.90), and emphasize the importance of designing curricula that apply edutech in a step-by-step learning process while incorporating suitable instructional design for the key technologies involved in vocational training programs. In addition, it was revealed that there is a strong need to implement a method that makes each stage of the learning process more effective (before, during, and after). Edutech-based vocational training program should consider the interests of all stakeholders, including learners, instructors, vocational training institutions, and government agencies. Given the promotion of government-sponsored vocational training projects in Korea, the findings of this research are likely to have significant implications for the future of Korea's education and training policies.

To improve the quality of government-funded vocational training, an accreditation system of vocational training providers has been implemented since 2015. The purpose of this study was to suggest improvement measures by analyzing the accreditation system and the perceptions surrounding it. To this end, accreditation systems from European countries, such as Germany and the UK, as well as related domestic systems, were reviewed. Two surveys were administered to 131 appraisers and 370 vocational training providers. The study results showed that changes to the standard and accreditation processes are not needed at this point. In the long term, however, it will be necessary to request that vocational training providers adopt their quality assurance system. In addition, both appraisers and vocational training providers responded that the accreditation system is being established to increase the quality assurance system within vocational training providers. Based on the study results, several implications for improving the accreditation system were suggested as follows: a vocational training enhancement centered on outstanding vocational training providers; an accreditation system simplification for short-term vocational training providers; a stronger monitoring system during the accreditation period; and an operation of outcome-based accreditation.

The purpose of this study is to derive implications by grasping how the occupational identity of vocational training teachers who teach programming in vocational training field was formed. Teacher A, who has been engaged in programming education and training for over 20 years, was interviewed in a narrative research. For the research question 'what is the occupational identity formation process of programming vocational training teachers?' It was found that educational experience had an effect on the formation of occupational identity. This study is meaningful in that it attempted to investigate the process of forming occupational identity of programming vocational training teachers and to examine its meaning. Proposals for future research are as follows. First, in the follow-up study, it is necessary to study a wide range of experiences targeting various programming vocational training teachers according to age, working period, and affiliated institutions.

In industrial sites, experiential virtual training contents are partially used to replace high-risk and high-cost training, and virtual training contents development is also becoming active along with the increasing demand for non-face-to-face industries. Existing studies mainly focused on quantitative research through surveys, and only measured the change in users' learning commitment. This study attempted to investigate the effect of the combination of theoretical education and virtual training on the improvement of actual job performance in a dual vocational training environment by conducting an experimental study. This study studied whether the combination of theoretical education and virtual training can improve the performance of vocational training in dual vocational training (comparative work and learning) in which companies and schools participate. The results of pre- and post-evaluation of vocational training using traditional vocational training and virtual training contents were compared with 24 vocational training trainees. As a result of the study, it was demonstrated that the outcome of virtual training education was higher than that of traditional vocational training, and the combination of virtual reality-based education was more effective in theoretical education. This study suggests that the virtual training content presents a new paradigm for industrial safety education, and through the interview results of trainees, it was confirmed that virtual training can lead to a change in attitude toward safety beyond just knowledge transfer. This contributes to the prevention of safety accidents in industrial sites and provides important implications for improving the quality of vocational training.
