Comparative Research on Relationship of Singapore and Indonesia in the AEC Aspect

The AEC has drawn huge attention from the global society ever since discussions over the formation of the new regional economic community became the talk of the town. In that more than 95% of intra-regional trades have been conducted free from any types of tariff in the ASEAN, expectation for meaningful progresses of the AEC gets bigger and bigger. 

Under this circumstance, it is no wonder that academic attempts to explore the era of the AEC in Southeast Asia have been carried out over the past decade. Researches on possible changes and repercussions that AEC may bring to the region have been mainly addressed.

Industry-school collaboration model of TAFE's vocational education in Australia and its implication to Korea(8)

Industry-school collaboration model of TAFE's vocational education in Australia and its implication to Korea

Among the colorful merits, what I want to research most is TAFEs' industry-school collaboration model. One excellent example is Kangan Institute of TAFE's cooperative relationship with nearby automobile industries like GM and Toyota in Melbourne. 

This productive and realistic approach to vocational education has been widely known to increase Australia's clout in the global society. Needless to say, it will mean a lot to the Korean vocational education system and related parties.

Heightening Work Experience and Bringing New Opportunity

Now let me explain why I can positively link 3 months stay in Hawaii and my work. More than anything else, I’d like to point out EWKLP definitely widens my horizon on various fields of the global society. As a journalist, my main job is to provide high-quality articles for subscribers. 

In this globalized world, the importance of global contents can't be overemphasized. And it means that I have to produce more and more globally insightful contents. In this regard, EWKLP allows me to have worldwide views which, to some extent, I couldn't think of before flying to Hawaii. And it led me to develop fresh and up-to-date ideas when I wrote articles.

Represented by TAFEs, Australia has been providing well-established vocational education service to students. It is no wonder that Australia is often cited to have one of the best vocational education systems in the world.

My column on MBA education will be a model example. In the column, I overlooked where Korean MBA schools are at this moment. And I emphasized the significance of timely MBA education, insisting "MBA schools should be places where students can learn what the society wants contemporary. MBA curriculums should reflect what the market eagerly demands, to name a few, green growth, NGO(Non-Governmental Organization) management."

Honestly speaking, I got this idea thanks to the experience in Hawaii. Lectures and course works at JAIMS did stress what MBA education should be like. The lesson is that MBA education basically shouldn't be theory-oriented. But it’d better focus on practices and 'Genba', which implies the curriculum would be consist of subjects that can digest various interests from the outside world. This point of view can be supported by students' high remarks on some classes such as professor Kobayashi, professor Kotabe and Mr. Larry Smith.
