The current economic and labor market situations of our country are challenged by increasing uncertainty both in and out of Korea,
longer-than-expected low growth rates, and shrinking economically productive population brought by low birth rates and aging society as well as grim prospects for employment rate.

Recent radical changes in industrial structure caused by COVID-19 have introduced our workplace to a new challenge of 'digital transition', necessitating a new, future-oriented employment and labor system to sharpen global competitive edge.

As a public institute specialized in providing a comprehensive set of employment and labor service, such as stabilizing labor relations, preventing employment discrimination, achieving workplace innovation, assisting mid-age workers career development and job transfer, promoting international development cooperation in employment and labor, supporting labor management in overseas/foreign invested companies, and providing vocational education for migrant workers, the Korea Labor and Employment Service has stayed firmly committed to fulfilling its mandated roles and responsibilities.

The KLES will do the best it could to make sure various projects both in operation and in pipelines would contribute to advancing labor relations and enhancing innovative capabilities of businesses. And your unwavering support would surely encourage us
to be more resolute in working to achieve such goals.

Thank you.
