Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — Director of the Migration Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan, Behzod Musaev, and the Mayor of Ulsan, South Korea, Kim Doo-Gyeom, have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation.

According to the document, candidates wishing to work in Ulsan, South Korea’s “economic capital,” will undergo a three-month professional training and language course at the newly established Ulsan Vocational Training Center in Ferghana.

Graduates of the center will receive work visas directly from the Ulsan city administration and will be employed at Hyundai’s shipbuilding plant—marking the first time such a mechanism has been introduced.

The official opening ceremony of the center is set to take place in Ferghana on 18 March, after which training sessions will commence.

This initiative is being implemented exclusively for Uzbekistan among the 17 countries that supply labor to South Korea.
