Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education Hosts Nation's First 'Online' Career and College Fair

From August 17 to 22, Divided into Three Areas: College Admission, Career, and Future Education

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 27th that it will hold the nation's first online career and college admission fair titled 'Click - Facing Dreams and the Future' for six days from August 17 to 22.

This fair is an event that provides intensive career and college admission-related information and counseling in cooperation with universities and middle and high schools, so that middle and high school students can design their career paths based on self-understanding and realize their dreams accordingly.

Having held a career and college admission fair with about 10,000 participants annually, the Daegu Office of Education prepared this untact event after about two months of preparation to adapt to the post-COVID-19 era for the 11th edition this year.

This fair is divided into three fields: college admission, career, and future education, operating 2 to 8 halls per field, totaling 12 halls. All halls will be operated online. The online platform will be built on the existing Daegu College Admission and Career Information Center.

The main participants are current students and graduates of middle and high schools in Daegu and their parents, but the target participants may vary depending on the content of each hall. All participants wishing to join any program must complete online platform registration during the pre-registration period (July 29 to 31).

Looking at the operation details of each hall, the 'College Admission Special Lecture Hall' will hold three special lectures by three lecturers including Professor Kim Kyung-beom (Seoul National University, former head of admissions) on topics such as future education and college admission, analysis of the 2021 college admission process, and changes and response strategies for the 2022 and 2023 college admission systems.

The 'University Counseling Hall' will feature participation from over 50 universities including major universities in the metropolitan area and local universities as well as specialized colleges in our region, providing key information related to the 2021 college admission process for each university. In the 'Early Admission Counseling Hall,' 'Self-Introduction Letter Hall,' and 'Individual Interview Hall,' counselors from the Daegu College Admission and Career Support Group will provide one-on-one customized counseling to help applicants effectively respond to the 2021 early admission process.

To organically link career setting and college admission, career programs that middle school students can participate in will also be operated. For example, the 'Multiple Intelligence Test-Based Career Counseling Hall' conducts multiple intelligence tests and analyzes the results to assist self-understanding and career exploration, targeting students from 3rd year middle school to 3rd year high school and their parents.

Daegu Superintendent of Education Kang Eun-hee said, "It is very regrettable that we cannot hold face-to-face communication events as in previous years due to COVID-19," and added, "Through this online fair, I ask all members of the Daegu education family to pool their wisdom and support so that our students can receive more practical help than in previous years."
