This paper aims at developing the tripartite partnership among the government, labor union and employers' union in Korea. Recently, stake-holders' concerns on vocational competency development are getting higher, along with by the trend of globalization and the increased labor market flexibility. Many countries put priorities on HRD policies, perceiving the significance of competency improvement and the employment security of workers. The Korean government has been also developing various initiatives to support vocational training, seeking a possibility to build training partnerships of workers, employers, and the government. But there seem to be many difficulties in creating the participatory VET system in workplaces. The reasons are; firstly, the social partners' concern on this matter is still weak, and secondly, the national tripartite commission isn't actually working. Moreover, the perspective of employers' unions are significantly different from that of trade unions. There exists the lack of participatory systems of training in enterprises and industries,too. Consequently, this study aims to explore more detailed initiatives to activate the tripartite partnership for workers' vocational competency development. It begins with case studies on the advanced countries such as the U.S., Canada, Britain, France,etc., in order to draw some implication, then, figure out problems by analyzing Korean conditions. Research methodology such as analyses on local and international literature, interviews with specialists, inspection of enterprises and industries were utilized.
