Military Manpower Administration to Begin Social Service Worker Training in 2025
The Military Manpower Administration (Commissioner Kim Jong-cheol) announced that it will begin the 2025 social service worker training at the Military Manpower Administration Social Service Training Center in Boeun, North Chungcheong Province, starting on February 3. This year’s training will last a total of 40 weeks until December 19, and the target group will be approximately 28,000 people.
The social service worker training, which aims to ‘train social service workers dedicated to the happiness of the people,’ is operated through a total of five courses, including the basic course of basic service training.
A notice of training call-up is given to the training target in advance, and the social service worker who receives the notice enters the social service training center and receives training for 4 nights and 5 days or 2 nights and 3 days depending on the training course.
This year, in order to support social service workers from a life planning perspective, ‘Youth Mental Health’ and ‘Career Support’ were newly organized as regular subjects in the basic service course. In addition, education on the necessity of the social service system and service regulations was strengthened, focusing on raising the pride of social service workers in their service and inducing them to serve faithfully.
Meanwhile, the Military Manpower Administration is making various efforts to ensure that social service workers can receive training in a more comfortable and safe environment.
To create a modern educational environment, electronic blackboards were introduced into classrooms and new lecture facilities were built to allow for simultaneous face-to-face and non-face-to-face lectures.
Before the start of education, all facilities including classrooms and dormitories were disinfected, bedding was replaced, and the environment was maintained. Inspections of X-ray screening booths and firefighting facilities were also completed.
Kim Jong-cheol, commissioner of the Military Manpower Administration, said, “We will continue to discover educational needs required in the field of social service workers’ service and reflect them in education policies to do our best to ensure that the social service system meets the expectations of the public.”
