[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yang Hee-jung] Busan Catholic University (President Father Shin Ho-cheol), Dong-A University, Dong-Eui University, Pukyong National University, and Pusan National University are conducting a "Secondary School Teacher Training for Strengthening Career and College Admission Guidance Competency" for 220 high school teachers nationwide at the Hilton Gyeongju from the 7th to the 10th for 3 nights and 4 days.

The training began with a welcoming speech by Chae Young-hee, head of the Admissions Office at Pukyong National University, and a keynote lecture titled "Our Education Dreamed in Poetry" by Jeong Jae-chan, head of Admissions at Hanyang University. The program consists of various special lectures on topics such as jobs in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, class improvement, and career guidance, department experiences, school violence prevention education, college entrance policy guidance, and group discussions.

A program was also prepared to enhance teachers' understanding of students' career choices. Teachers can choose two departments from among ten departments including Busan Catholic University's Department of Physical Therapy and Department of Speech-Language Pathology, Dong-Eui University's Department of Korean Medicine and Department of Finance and Real Estate, Pukyong National University's Department of Resource Biology and Department of Biomedical Engineering, Dong-A University's Department of Fashion Design and Department of Landscape Architecture, and Pusan National University's Department of Clothing and Textiles and Department of Economics to attend lectures.

Kim Hyun-hee, a teacher at Dongseong High School in Seoul participating in the training, said, "I also participated in the teacher training held solely at Busan Catholic University at the end of last month, and the content was substantial then as well. I heard that the training programs of universities in the Busan area are of high quality and substantial, so I decided to participate again this time."

Won Seong-hyun, head of the Admissions Office at Busan Catholic University, said, "High school-university linkage programs are not only important for students but also very important for the teachers who guide them. Therefore, sharing information between universities and high schools and mutual understanding through programs should continue to be emphasized."

Started in 2017 and now in its third year, this teacher training was conducted as a joint project of five universities selected for the 2019 High School Education Contribution University Support Project led by the Ministry of Education. It has established itself as a popular program, with online applications closing within five minutes.
