including administration and education. Meanwhile, in conjunction with the
government’s job creation policy for the public sector, the MND, in cooperation with
police, fire, and coast guard agencies, continues to secure non-military jobs in the
fields of police, aviation maintenance, and special force (tactics) as well as fire and
rescue fields by easing employment requirements and improving the relevant system.
The MND increased the number of "job fairs for servicemembers nearing their
discharge", which supports employment by connecting the servicemembers nearing
their discharge with companies seeking to hire at the job fair, from once a year to
twice a year considering the demand of servicemembers since 2019. Going forward,
the MND will steadfastly expand its non-face-to-face (online) employment matching
program in line with changes in the job market. In addition, to encourage more
companies to employ soldiers upon discharge, the MND awards commendations and
certificates of appreciation signed by the Minister of National Defense to excellent
companies that hire discharged servicemembers. To foster such culture in the job
market, the MND plans to keep holding meetings with corporate CEOs and HR
personnel.

though most of the jobs performed in the military are similar or identical to those
covered by NCS, the former has yet to be standardized, thus making it difficult for

servicemembers to have their military experience recognized as work experience
outside the military after their discharge.
Therefore, the MND will systematize the jobs performed in the military according
to NCS to ensure that servicemembers have their military experience and expertise
recognized in the same field outside the military after their discharge and reflect
the job experience associated with NCS on the military career certificate, in order 26)
