The Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training (Director Koh Hye-won) announced that it received a presidential citation in recognition of its contributions to the development of the employment insurance system and vocational skills development policy at the ‘Employment Insurance 30th Anniversary Commemoration Ceremony’ held on the 8th.
Since its introduction in 1995, employment insurance has been a core social security system that has contributed to protecting workers' livelihoods and stabilizing the labor market through various programs, including unemployment benefits and job training, over the past 30 years. The commemorative ceremony, hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and organized by the Korea Employment Information Service, featured government awards to individuals and organizations who have contributed to the development of the employment insurance system.
Founded in 1997, the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training (KRIVET) is a government-funded research institute under the Prime Minister's Office. It conducts policy research on vocational skills development, employment policy, and talent development. Led by the Employment Skills Research Center, the institute has contributed to the advancement of the employment insurance system through diverse research initiatives, including research on vocational skills development systems, employment and labor market analysis, and policy strategies to address social and technological changes.
Director Koh Hye-won said, “This presidential award is a recognition that our research on vocational skills development has made a substantial contribution to the development of the employment insurance system,” and added, “In a rapidly changing social and technological environment with low birth rates, an aging population, and the spread of artificial intelligence, we will continue to conduct research and propose policies so that people can maintain stable jobs and companies can innovate.”
