We in the resources will appreciate Korean engineers for their attitude towards quality, rather than the shabby jobs done by Indians.
Noticed that the govt no longer do Roadshows in India. I think they learnt their lessons.

WA engineering training for Koreans

Korean students will train to become engineers at WA universities after a memorandum of understanding was signed between the University of Western Australia and Curtin University with 10 Korean universities.
The signing today was hailed as an endorsement of the quality of WA's education and training programs in the highly competitive resources sector.
"WA already has strong commercial relationships with Korea in the resources sector and there are a number of exchange programs and partnerships with universities in Korea," Education Minister Liz Constable said.
"The future agreements are expected to cover collaboration in education and research, including exchanges of information and experience; exchanges of faculty members and students; co-operative research projects; and an executive development program."
According to the education department, the Korean universities have formed the Korea Energy and Mineral Resources Engineering Program, which has the financial support of the Korean Government.
Up to 60 undergraduate and graduate students are expected to enrol in short-term courses later this year as part of the program.
To extend these relationships in higher education, Dr Constable will lead a delegation of university vice chancellors to Korea in April next year.
The visit is expected to include high-level meetings with university and business officials and a higher education forum.
The department said the minister will also promote tourism to Western Australia during her Korean visit.
