Taesoo Lim, Dongsoo Kim · The e-Business Studies · 2008
In order to promote software industry, it is essential to train and utilize specialized software human resources in the industry. It is required to establish an appropriate qualification system for the industry in order to train and utilize the qualified human resources. The current national qualification system in the IT area cannot cope with the development of software industry and does not provide various qualifications required to the software workers. We analyze the problems of the current national qualification system for the software industry and propose a framework for improving the qualification system. Based on the review of the software skill standard and a range of technology levels, we suggest a new integrated qualification system that provides a variety of qualifications for various software skills at various levels. Also we propose policy alternatives for institutionalizing the new qualification system.
