The document discusses Korea's Work-based Learning System (Dual System). The Dual System was introduced in 2014 to link job training, certification, and competency-based learning. Under the system, workers receive both on-the-job and off-the-job training from company trainers based on National Competency Standards, lasting 6 months to 4 years. The Dual System aims to provide benefits like addressing skills gaps, increasing youth employment, and strengthening ties between education and industry. It involves legal and financial support from the government to encourage private sector participation.
