Abstract

Currently financial support for vocational skills development training is provided based on the NCS standard unit price set according to the NCS occupational classification. Such a standard unit price system has the advantage of reducing administrative burdens required in managing the training levy-grant system. In this paper, it is pointed out that current unit price system may distort the social integration function of vocational training policy as it is based on the tuition fees of training course. As a basis for finding a more appropriate financial support system, we analyzed what factors are influencing the training course fees set by training institutions. As a result, it was confirmed that the monopolistic nature of the training courses or the high level of willingness of pay of training participants influenced the training course fees. Therefore, the necessity of removing the influence of such factors from unit price system was suggested so as that the training policy contributes to the social integration. Furthermore, it is required to establish new support criteria centered on the government's policy judgment if the training costs of all training courses cannot be exactly estimated.

현재 직업능력개발훈련에 대한 재정 지원은 NCS 직종 분류에 따라 설정된 NCS 기준 단가에 따라 집행되고 있다. 이러한 기준단가 제도는 훈련분담금-지원금 제도가 운영되는 경우 그에 필요한 행정 부담을 경감시켜주는 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 NCS 기준단가가 훈련과정별 수강료를 기준으로 함에 따라 직업훈련 정책의 사회통합적 기능을 왜곡시킬 수 있음을 지적하였다. 앞으로 합리적 개선 방안 모색을 위한 기초로서, 훈련기관에서 책정하는 훈련과정별 수강료에 어떤 요인들이 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 그 결과 실제로 훈련기관의 독점적 성격이나 훈련참여자의 높은 지불의사가 수강료에 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 향후 정부의 직업능력개발훈련에 대한 재정지원에서 이러한 영향을 제거하고 실제 훈련공급비용에 가까운 지원이 이뤄지도록 함으로써 훈련정책이 사회적 통합성 제고에 기여하도록 해야 할 것이다. 더 나아가 근본적으로 모든 훈련과정의 정확한 훈련공급비용을 보전해 줄 수 없다면 정부의 정책적 판단을 중심으로 하는 지원 기준 마련이 필요하다.
