PREFACE

KOICA's HRD Program Modeled after Korea's Experience
Human resources development has been the single most important factor in Korea's escape from the vicious cycle of poverty and underdevelopment, which had plagued the country for many decades. In a country where there are scarce natural resources, capable individuals played a vital role in economic growth and development. Korea represents an exemplar of national development powered by strong and highly trained human resources.
During the course of its economic development, Korea has come to fully realize the critical importance of HRD, and HRD has become Korea's highest priority in international development cooperation. With a considerable amount of experience and know-how, Korea is dedicated to contributing to the development of capable individuals in partner countries.
Since its inauguration in 1991, KOICA has constantly supported the HRD of its partner countries, mostly through the training of individuals and the establishment of training and educational facilities.
The training and expertise-sharing programs are the primary tools used by KOICA for human resources development. Through these programs, KOICA helps developing countries build administrative and technical capacity in both the public and private sectors. Furthermore, in an effort to share with local communities the experience and knowledge acquired over the course of Korea’s own development, KOICA dispatches Korea Overseas Volunteers (KOVs) to teach students, advise local governments, and provide healthcare and nursing. To date, about 2,250 Koreans have served as KOVs.
The training program provides opportunities to individuals from developing countries to gain first-hand knowledge of Korean development. The purpose of this program is to enable the trainees to put what they have learned to use for the development of their home country or local community. Between 1991 and 2005, KOICA offered 1,289 training courses to a total of 21,899 trainees from some 163 countries. The topics covered are as diverse as administration, economic development, science and technology, information and communication technology, agriculture/forestry/fishery, and healthcare. In order to meet the constantly changing needs of its partner countries, KOICA is making every effort to further increase the effectiveness of its HRD programs.

1) Korea Coast Guard (http://www.kcg.go.kr)

The Korean Coast Guard (KCG) was established to carry out maritime law enforcement and marine pollution control tasks in December 1953. Under Commissioner General, KCG has 6 Bureaus, 23 Divisions in the KCG Headquarters in Incheon and has 3 Regional Headquarters in Mokpo, Busan and Donghae. As subsidiary, there are KCG Academy and KCG Maintenance Workshop. As the special local administrative agency, KCG has 13 Coast Guard Stations nationwide on top of 71 offices, 270 patrol vessels, crime response squad boats, pollution response vessels, and aircrafts (airplane, helicopters), etc.
2) Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries

(http://www.momaf.go.kr)

The times call for a new era of ocean order as the world faces the emerging challenges such as resource depletion and environmental degradation. Ministry was established in 1996 to effectively prepare for the so-called Blue Revolution in the 21^st century.

To ensure that Korea’s marine industries remain competitive, sustainable and environmentally friendly, the Ministry has six primary functions: developing sustainable fisheries, conserving the marine environment, integrating coastal management, promoting a competitive-yet-safe shipping industry, fostering Korea’s ports as a logistic hub for Northeast Asia, and strengthening international cooperation.

The Ministry also promotes future-oriented activities to enrich our life such as the development of marine alternative energy and the exploration of mineral resource.
3) Incheon Port Authority (http://www.icpa.or.kr)

Incheon Port is one of the most important ports in Korea and consists of an inner port and an outer port. The Inner Port has 48 berths and 7 out piers. Pier 1 is under public management, and others are operated by private firms under the terminal operating company (TCO) system.

Efficiency of port operations was increased and services for users of Incheon Port were greatly improved with creative and advanced management techniques by private firms.

Thanks to the development of the South Port, North Port and South Outer Port, the Port of Incheon has entered into the outer port age, which allows ships to berth immediately. In the past, during the inner port age, the arrival and departure of ships were complicated by differences in high and low tides.

4) Busan Port Authority (http://www.busanpa.com)

As Busan Port is located in the Southeast of the Korean Peninsula, it plays the role of a gateway connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Asian continent. Also as the leading port in Korea, it makes a substantial contribution to Korean economic growth by handing about 40% of the total imported overseas cargo, and 40% of the national fishery production. The number of vessels that use Busan Port totals about 50,000 annually and around 130 vessels every day.

The BPA is developing, managing, and operating port facilities within the border of Busan Port. The port facilities managed by the BPA include the quay wall where loading work is performed while a vessel is berthing, fishing boat quay, pier, dolphin, anchoring facilities such as the dock, CY in an open storage yard of the warehouse, CFS, silo, oil storage facility, distribution/sales facilities of freight such as a freight terminal, fixed or movable loading facilities such as cargo transportation facility/piping facilities, passenger convenience facilities such as a waiting room, passenger elevators, and a parcels office, and oiling and watering facilities for vessels.
5) Korean Maritime University (http://www.hhu.ac.kr)

Korea Maritime University (KMU) was established in 1945 as a national university for the purpose of contributing to the maritime and industrial development of Korea. KMU has played a vital role in the nation’s growth through providing high-quality maritime professionals and will continue to take a leading position as the most prestigious university specializing in various fields of maritime study.

Also the government selected marine technology (MT) as state priority technology and is planning to put in an enormous budget of 3.1 trillion won by 2013. Based upon such tradition and capability, College of Ocean Science & Technology was established to rear core specialists in overall marine industry as well as to deepen marine specialization of the college to well match the new age of ocean in the 21^st century
6) Hyundai Motors (www.hyundai-motor.com)

Hyundai Motors was established in December 1967. In the early 1980's, fueled by rapid economic growth, Hyundai invested in a major expansion of its Ulsan plant, making a transition from low-volume to high-volume manufacturing. During the late 1980's, the company prepared for the more intense competition that the 1990's would bring. Hyundai Motor Company endured a difficult year in 1998, as domestic sales sharply declined. It was also a period of company-wide and industry-wide restructuring. The acquisition of Kia/Asia Motors will allow Hyundai Motors to achieve the economics of scale needed to compete in the global market.

7) Hyundai Heavy Industries (www.hhi.co.kr)

Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) seeks to maintain the vision of becoming a Global Leader in the heavy industries sector. Founded by the late Chung Ju-yung on March 23, 1972, HHI took its independent way after having completed a spin-off from the Hyundai Group in February 2002, ceaselessly pursuing a top position in the world’s heavy industry fields.

HHI has a worldwide business network in each of its six main divisions: Shipbuilding, Offshore & Engineering, Industrial Plant & Engineering, Engine & Machinery, Electro Electric Systems and Construction Equipment. This year the Marketing Division was newly established to undertake and incorporate the marketing/sales operations of HHI's three business divisions: Shipbuilding, Offshore & Engineering, and Industrial Plant & Engineering.
8) Gyeongju Historical Sites (www.gyeongju.gyeongbuk.kr)

Gyeongju was the capital of the Silla Kingdom for a thousand years, and the valley in which it is situated has a great concentration of historic buildings, temples, and artifacts. After Silla unified the peninsula in 676 AD, the city developed into one of the world’s major cultural centers. The area is called a “museum without walls” because of the historical buildings and treasures there. There are abundant treasures throughout the city. Mt. Namsan, Wolseong, Daereungwon and Hwangnyongsa as well as Seokgulam and Bulguksa are registered on the World Cultural Heritage list.

5. SOCIAL & CULTURAL PROGRAM

During the first week, participants are invited to various sites in Seoul which is both the capital and the heart of the Republic of Korea. Seoul is also the financial, political, commercial, recreational, educational and cultural center of Korea, home to major corporations, banks, government offices, leading schools and universities, and entertainment facilities.

Participants will find a rich and satisfying variety of things to see and do on the tour.  Through this trip, participants will visit a few places like Namdaemoon Market, Insa-dong (a charming narrow street lined with antique stores and art galleries), Gyeongbok palace, Sangam World Cup Stadium, Korean traditional homes and Seoul Tower.

6. WRAP-UP SESSION

This session, which concludes the course, includes a questionnaire survey, oral evaluation and departure orientation.

1. TRAINING INSTITUTE

❏ Korea Coast Guard (KCG, http://www.kcg.go.kr)

KCG is one of the governmental organizations taking charge of maritime crimes and safety. Ever since its founding in 1953, KCG has been committed to maintaining sea sovereignty and safety. In the 21^st century, the ocean will not only be important as a trade and distribution center, but will come to be an increasingly important component of the people’s economy as well as for their recreations.

In the light of this new approach to the ocean, KCG has created the new catch phrase, “One with the People; One with the Ocean” in order to greet “the peaceful and prosperous age of Northeast Asia.” The KCG will also concentrate all efforts into creating a safe and peaceful ocean and bringing about “a safe ocean, a clean ocean and an ocean of hope.”
