The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of establishing National Technology Academy (NTA) for foundational workforce in manufacturing industry and to develop a plan of establishment and operation of it. For the purpose, literature review, time series analysis, and expert consultation were used. The NTA should be newly established different from the existing vocational education and training institutes. Considering demands for workforce, the NTA should train 500 or more technologists in a year and grant associate degrees. Establishment of the NTA should be led by government because it trains students needed to national core industry. Although four establishment models could be proposed according to the way of operation, the final model should be determined considering carefully strength, weakness, and practicality of each model. For effective operations of the NTA, it is required to develop industry customized curriculum, secure field-experienced trainers, reinforce incentives for trainers, and secure budget.
