The virtual launch ceremony was co-organised by the RoK Mission to ASEAN, the ASEAN Secretariat and the RoK Employment and Labour Ministry.

Speaking at the event, Ambassador of the RoK to ASEAN Lim Sung-nam affirmed the RoK’s expectation that the TEAM project would contribute to the successful implementation of the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025 and Initiative for ASEAN Integration Work Plan III.

Stressing that human is a centre of the RoK’s New Southern Policy, he hoped that TEAM project will make considerable contributions to the ASEAN-RoK efforts to build a community of peace and prosperity.

The 6.9 million USD TEAM project will be carried out in the next three years, including analysing labour markets of ASEAN member states in order to determine demand and requirements of each nation.

Based on such analysis, 100 lecturers and 400 trainees from regional countries will be invited to training courses in priority fields in the RoK. The project will also offer reform recommendations for qualification and referencing frameworks of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam.

The ambassador said the RoK government will develop the project to readily meet requirements of the market and private sector.
