Korea and Germany have agreed to cooperate to help Mongolia participate in the upcoming 2015 WorldSkills Competition, a series of construction- and design-related games.
The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and its German counterpart, the GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit), signed a joint agreement to provide vocational training to Mongolian entrants, on January 28.
As the Mongolian government asked for Korea's assistance in helping it participate in the WorldSkills Competition, KOICA and the GIZ will offer special training to the skilled Mongolian workers and designers who will take part in the competition. The training will take place in a timely manner so that the country can participate in the 2015 WorldSkills Competition to be held in São Paulo between August 11 and 16. This will be the first such event to be taken part in by Mongolia.
"Mongolia became a member of the WorldSkills Competition in 2014 with assistance from KOICA and the GIZ," said Mongolian Minister of Labor Sodnom Chinzorig. "I am very glad that Mongolian workers will receive special training in June and will participate in the WorldSkills Competition in August for the first time."
"KOICA and the GIZ will help Mongolia improve its capacity to participate in the WorldSkills Competition," said a KOICA official. "We will cooperate so that it will raise awareness of vocational training in Mongolia and help Mongolian workers gain competitiveness at an international level."
