Seminar held on ‘Korean Language and Culture Experts’

AMMAN — KOICA Jordan Office in cooperation with KAAJ (KOICA Alumni Association of Jordan), organised a knowledge sharing seminar on the “Korean Language and Culture Experts” on Wednesday.

The knowledge sharing seminar was organised as part of KOICA’s continued efforts to disseminate the acquired knowledge and lessons learned from the Korean experience through KOICA’s training programmes to a wider range of people who can benefit from these opportunities and bring a substantial change to their communities, a KOICA statement said. 

More than 70 students from the University of Jordan, mostly from the Korean and English languages departments, attended the online seminar.

At the end of the seminar, an introductory session was conducted by KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) Group, a leading Korean energy group globally, which covers about 20 per cent of Jordan's total power generation. 

During the seminar, KOICA promoted available employment opportunities in six Korean energy companies.

KOICA and KEPCO’s partnership was initiated in April this year, where both parties signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly lead in conducting the corporate social responsibility of the KEPCO Group and the sustainability of KOICA’s Official Development Assistance programmes in Jordan. 

Since 1991, KOICA has been providing training programmes to Jordan as one part of it assistance in building capacities of human resources for the socio-economic development of the country. To this date over 800 Jordanian officials have been invited to partake in training programmes in Korea. In 2021, around 70 new participants will take part in online training, concluded the statement.
