[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Jeonju University announced on the 20th that the number of overseas employment graduates from the Department of Hotel Management has exceeded 300.

According to Jeonju University, the first overseas employment began in 2006, reaching 100 in 2013 and surpassing 313 in 2020.

A Jeonju University official stated, "The students' characteristic diligence and language and practical skills have become well-known in the industry, and recently about 30 students have been employed annually at overseas luxury hotels," adding, "This is a remarkable achievement even compared to prestigious universities in the Seoul metropolitan area."

The reason why Jeonju University's Department of Hotel Management is receiving global attention is known to be due to its practical-oriented 'specialized curriculum' and 'global competency enhancement programs.'

Jeonju University has signed agreements with Marriott International, Accor Ambassador Korea, and others to operate customized education and training programs for cultivating hoteliers.

In particular, the Marriott Hotel Group is very actively involved in student field training education and emphasizes efforts to improve students' overseas employment capabilities through overseas hotel internships and English education programs.
