G20국가의 직업교육훈련 제도(I) : 주요국 우수사례를 중심으로

Abstract

「G20국가의 직업교육훈련제도」연구는 2010년 10월 한국에서의 G20 정상회의 개최에 즈음하여 G20국가들의 향후 발전가능성의 주요 기반으로서 각 국가의 직업교육훈련(VET) 제도들을 살펴보고자 하는 의도에서 기획되었다. 「G20국가의 직업교육훈련제도(1)」은 그 첫 번째 연구로서 G20 국가 중 각기 다른 제도적 특징을 지닌 호주, 독일, 프랑스, 일본 그리고 BRICs 중 중국의 직업교육훈련제도를 상세히 소개하고 이들 국가의 직업교육훈련제도 중 벤치마킹할 만한 우수한 제도들을 도출하여 이를 소개하는데 중점을 두었다. ○ 주요 연구 내용 - G20체제와 직업교육훈련 - 호주의 직업교육훈련제도 및 우수사례 - 독일의 직업교육훈련제도 및 우수사례 - 일본의 직업교육훈련제도 및 우수사례 - 프랑스의 직업교육훈련제도 및 우수사례 - 중국의 직업교육훈련제도 및 우수사례

The word ‘G20(Group of 20)’ has received great attention during the year of 2010 in Korea, partly because the 5th G20 summit has been held in Seoul in October of 2010 and Korea served as the Chair Country of G20 during the same year. G20 has come to capture the spotlight of experts and policy-makers in all the countries as a new ‘world economic order’ to replace the well-known G7. A browse of the countries on the list of G20 reveals that G20 represents a quite complex mix of countries compared to G7. Within G20, there exist so-called ‘advanced elite economies’ such as Germany, France, England, Japan, Italy, the United States and Canada, right next to emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil, Russia(so-called BRICs), South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. While G20 is a hetero-genious group which covers both ‘advanced’ and ‘emerging’ economies, and incorporates countries with remarkably diverse cultural, political, and economic institutions, the emergence of G20 as the world ‘premier forum’ to discuss and decide on the most critical issues of the global economy signals that a significant change is taking place in the world order. It is in this context that the series of study in ‘Vocational Education and Training Institutions in G20 Member Countries’ are planned. The study is undertaken as a 3-year-long project. In the first year of the study, the focus will be given to examining the VET systems of advanced economies and to find their major strengths. In the second year, the focus will be placed to exploring the VET institutions of emerging economies, while trying to discover right directions toward which these institutions should evolve which will help the countries continue to grow at a high rate. In the third year, the emphasis will be given to finding a model of international cooperation through exchanging VET practices among countries both within and outside G20. ...
