Abstract

To improve the quality of government-funded vocational training, an accreditation system of vocational training providers has been implemented since 2015. The purpose of this study was to suggest improvement measures by analyzing the accreditation system and the perceptions surrounding it. To this end, accreditation systems from European countries, such as Germany and the UK, as well as related domestic systems, were reviewed. Two surveys were administered to 131 appraisers and 370 vocational training providers. The study results showed that changes to the standard and accreditation processes are not needed at this point. In the long term, however, it will be necessary to request that vocational training providers adopt their quality assurance system. In addition, both appraisers and vocational training providers responded that the accreditation system is being established to increase the quality assurance system within vocational training providers. Based on the study results, several implications for improving the accreditation system were suggested as follows: a vocational training enhancement centered on outstanding vocational training providers; an accreditation system simplification for short-term vocational training providers; a stronger monitoring system during the accreditation period; and an operation of outcome-based accreditation.

정부가 지원하는 직업훈련의 품질 향상을 위하여 2015년부터 직업훈련기관에 대한 인증평가 제도가 시행되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 시행되고 있는 직업훈련기관 인증평가 제도와 이 제도에 대한 인증평가자와 직업훈련기관의 인식을 검토하여 개선방안을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 직업훈련기관 인증평가 제도를 일찍부터 활발히 운용해 온 독일과 영국 등의 유럽 제도 및 국내의 관련 제도를 검토하였다. 또한 직업훈련기관 인증평가자 131명과 직업훈련기관 370개소를 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 직업훈련기관 인증평가의 기준이나 인증평가 절차의 변화는 현재 시점에서 크게 요구되지는 않으나 직업훈련기관의 자체적인 품질관리시스템을 장기적으로는 요구할 필요가 있다는 점을 확인했다. 인증평가자와 직업훈련기관에 대한 인식 조사에서도 모두 인증평가를 통하여 직업훈련기관의 품질관리체계 구축이 이루어지고 있다는 응답이 제시되었다. 이러한 연구결과에 근거하여 우수한 직업훈련기관 중심의 직업훈련 실시강화, 근로자 대상의 단기간 직업훈련을 실시하는 직업훈련기관에 대한 간소한 인증평가 제도의 도입, 인증기간 중 자체적으로 지속적인 품질관리가 가능하도록 모니터링의 강화, 직업훈련 성과 중심의 인증평가 제도 운용 등과 같은 개선사항을 제안하였다.
