[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 6th that it has signed a business agreement with KEPCO KDN to promote employment of vocational high school graduates and create jobs.

Under this agreement, 15 third-year students majoring in electricity, electronics, telecommunications, information, management information, and office finance from vocational high schools in Jeonnam will participate in the KEPCO KDN internship program for three months from September to November.

The students will participate in learning-centered field training in Naju, where KEPCO KDN's headquarters is located, and in Mokpo and Suncheon, where its branches are located.

The Office of Education expects this agreement to provide a valuable opportunity for vocational high school students in the province to acquire advanced power ICT technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution era by participating in the internship program at KEPCO KDN headquarters and branches.

Additionally, KEPCO KDN is expected to help activate employment of high school graduates by promoting employment connections with partner companies for those who complete the internship.

Even if employment connections are not made, it is anticipated that the internship experience at a public enterprise will have a positive effect on students when preparing for employment at other companies.

Song Yong-seok, Director of the Education Bureau, said, “Jeonnam vocational high schools are making continuous efforts such as restructuring departments to cultivate customized professional manpower in the energy sector linked to regional specialized industries in line with the 4th Industrial Revolution era. We will actively cooperate with related organizations so that Jeonnam students can find employment at local public enterprises and contribute to regional development.”

Meanwhile, the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education plans to sign an agreement on the 21st with Naju City, Jeonnam Innovation City Support Group, Jeonnam Human Resources Development Committee, Naju Innovation Industrial Complex Resident Companies Association, and Gwangju Regional Employment and Labor Office to foster manpower in the energy sector in Naju Innovation City.
