[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gyeongnam National University recently announced on the 5th that it was selected as an excellent university (Grade A) in the 2019 performance evaluation of the nationwide 'IPP-type Work-Learning Parallel' operating universities, hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and conducted by the Human Resources Development Service of Korea.


The IPP-type Work-Learning Parallel project is a newly proposed industry-academia cooperation model by the Ministry of Employment and Labor to enhance college students' practical skills in the field and resolve mismatches between universities and companies.


This project combines 'Company-Linked Long-Term Field Training' (IPP) and 'Work-Learning Parallel,' where universities provide education to students, and companies are responsible for employing and training college students to cultivate practical talents needed in the industrial field.


Gyeongnam National University has systematically operated a program that provides students with opportunities to gain practical experience in the industrial field and helps companies nurture and hire desired talents.


Lee Sang-hoon, head of the Gyeongnam National University KU-IPP Project Group, said, "Through the IPP-type Work-Learning Parallel project, we will contribute to revitalizing industry-academia cooperation within the university and actively strive to resolve manpower supply and demand mismatches between universities and industrial sites, leading to employment activation."



Kim Hoo-jin, co-training center director of the Gyeongnam National University KU-IPP Project Group, emphasized, "Although it is concerning that student workers (4th-year students) are going to companies for training during socially difficult times, I hope this becomes an opportunity for them to grow by learning how to overcome these situations together as members of a company."
