Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the priority partner countries for technical vocational education and training (TVET), using the cluster analysis. The partner countries were prioritized for finance supports and knowledge sharing. We had also redesigned the TVET assistance process as well as reflected the needs of recipient countries for TVET. Especially, by redesigning the methodological support process, we also increased the effectiveness and efficiency of TVET official development assistance. In research method, potential 24 priority partner countries have been designated by the international development cooperation committee and selection criteria of international cooperation agencies and banks. Then, we conducted the cluster analysis, using three main variables: economic factor, labor market factor, education factor. In results, we clustered four and three types of the priority partner countries for TVET. In future, we suggested the new approach for selecting the priority partner countries in terms of employment and labor as well as non-designated partner countries, which will need to cooperate for TVET.

본 연구의 목적은 직업능력개발 국제협력의 주된 대상이 되는 중점 협력국들을 유형화하여 분류하고, 직업능력개발 지원의 우선순위를 선정하기 위한 것이다. 직업능력개발 국제협력을 활성화하기 위해서는 우선 대상국 및 지역을 선정하고, 대상국과 지역의 개발 목표에 맞게 집중적인 지원을 실시하는 것이 중요하다. 특히, 직업능력개발에 대한 수원국의 요구를 적절히 반영하고, 정부의 한정된 재정지출의 효율성을 높이기 위해, 직업능력개발 국제협력 중점 협력국을 선정하고 유형화 분류를 통해 우선순위를 결정하여 지원해야 한다. 연구방법으로, 국제개발협력위원회가 제시한 24개 중점 협력국을 대상으로, 경제발전 변인, 노동시장 변인, 교육 변인 3가지 주요 변인을 바탕으로 K-평균 군집분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 중점 협력국의 유형을 4가지 유형과 3가지 유형으로 분류하여 제안하였고, 각 유형별로 해당하는 국가들을 재배치하였다. 향후에는, 고용노동분야를 고려하고, 미지정 협력국을 더 발굴하여, 유형화하며, 이를 바탕으로 직업능력개발 국제협력을 활성화해야 한다.
