[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Hannam University is concentrating its efforts on supporting its students' employment in public institutions.

Following the enforcement of the Innovation City Act, which expanded the mandatory hiring quota for local talents at public institutions located in the Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungcheong regions, the university has decided to directly oversee securing employment opportunities for its students in these public institutions.

On the 30th, Hannam University announced that it held the ‘2020 Professor NCS Training for Employment in Public Institutions’ at Seoi-pil Hall in the 56th Anniversary Memorial Hall on campus with this purpose.

The training was attended by President Lee Kwang-seop of Hannam University and about 60 department professors, who listened to special lectures on this year’s recruitment trends, understanding NCS recruitment, strategies for passing public institution exams, and plans for education and employment guidance.

Earlier, on the 19th, the Hannam University University Job Center started operating a special NCS class for public institution employment, beginning with a ‘Public Institution Employment Strategy Special Lecture.’ The special class will participate in an online real-time education program until the 14th of next month.

The special class program consists of theoretical and intensive courses, and any student wishing to work in public institutions can choose and participate in courses according to their level.

Considering the current situation of the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), Hannam University operates both online and offline classes concurrently. Participants in the program can receive personalized correction guidance, including basic employment strategy lectures, strategies for writing public enterprise application documents, and self-introduction letter consulting.

Through this, the university explains that students will be able to prepare for public institution employment in a one-stop manner, covering document preparation, solving basic job competency problems, interview strategies for each institution, and practical interview practice.

President Lee Kwang-seop of Hannam University said, “With the amendment of the Innovation City Act, the mandatory hiring ratio for local talents at 51 public institutions in the Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungcheong areas will gradually increase to 30%. This is a great opportunity for our university and students, and we will spare no support at the university level to ensure that students properly utilize this opportunity and achieve employment success.”

Meanwhile, the public institutions in the Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungcheong regions subject to mandatory local talent hiring include 51 institutions such as Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL), Korea Rail Network Authority, Korea Water Resources Corporation, Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, Korea Consumer Agency, Korea Development Institute, and Korea Midland Power Co., Inc. The number of recruits at these institutions is expected to reach 3,635 annually.
