Jeonbuk, a pilot system for employment-only teachers
The Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education is piloting the’employment dedicated teacher system’ in order to support career paths for vocational high school students and enhance their job hunting capabilities. The teacher in charge of employment is in charge of job counseling for specialized high school students, finding leading companies, establishing industry-university cooperation, operating field training, and protecting the human rights of field training students. This year, teachers dedicated to employment will be active in five public specialized high schools and Meister high schools. When selected as an operating school, the principal may appoint a teacher in charge of employment among full-time teachers, and hire a non-capacity teacher for work support and replacement of classes. The teacher in charge is given the minimum number of hours per week of instruction, and the homeroom teacher and the manager cannot serve concurrently. An official from the Provincial Office of Education said, “I hope that the placement of teachers in charge of employment will enhance the employment capacity of vocational high school students and increase safe and excellent employment.”
