02. Main Directions of the NHI's
Programs in 2022
Innovating Educational Content to Foster Talented
Public Officials Who Take the Lead in Future Changes
As part of the effort to help public officials come up with
feasible policies with a broad perspective on future changes
in the environment, the NHI plans to carry out a sweeping
reorganization of its programs on policies to make them
focused on problem solving. In addition, efforts will be made
to improve public officials' digital capacities by launching
new curriculum that teach how to utilize open data and that
use the latest digital technologies such as the metaverse, AR,
and VR. Position-specific leadership programs will be
enhanced to help team leaders respond to changes in
circumstances in a timely manner, which will allow them to
lead their members by presenting new visions. In addition,
we will also further strengthen the programs on public
service values that can meet public expectations
Adopting Effective Training Methods in Light of
Changes in Circumstances
Blended or hybrid learning methods will be flexibly applied by
considering the content, targets, and characteristics of the
training. Moreover, various efforts will be made to enable selfdirected learning. To this end, changes in the educational
environment and learners' needs will be analyzed to produce
learning content in such new forms as microlearning, shortform videos, and webtoons, so it can be used by all institutions.
In addition, AI-based customized learning recommendation
services and excellent public and private learning content will
be provided.
Making Exchanges, Cooperation, and Global Trainings
More Substantive as a Pace-setting Country in the
International Community
Through efforts to link with the government's policy to
promote the Korean Wave through public administration,
training for public officials from our country's key partner
countries will be expanded to provide customized
curriculum, and the follow-up management of those who
completed training, including support for applying what
has been learned to their work on the ground, will be
enhanced. In addition, the NHI will provide support to help
enhance domestic public officials' global competence
with a view to making it commensurate with our nation's
standing as one of the G10 countries.
Strengthening Research to Help Improve Civil Service
Competitiveness and the NHI's Functions as a HRD Hub
Through the HRD cooperation network between public
and private training institutions, and the research council
between the government, research institutes, and
academia, the foundation for sharing excellent examples of
education and the latest HRD trends will be solidified. In
particular, by jointly conducting research into HRD issues
and sharing the findings on a regular basis, the NHI will
support each education and training institution's efforts to
strengthen HRD capacities. We will also cooperate, for
instance, by providing customized consulting.
