[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Mokpo National University (President Park Min-seo) announced on the 2nd that it was selected as an excellent university (Grade A) for two consecutive years in the ‘2019 IPP-type Work-Learning Dual System Joint Training Center Performance Evaluation’ held on the 1st.

This evaluation reflected various qualitative assessment areas such as training management and organizational management, as well as quantitative evaluations including achievement of target performance, employment rate, and satisfaction, targeting 36 IPP project operating universities nationwide.

Mokpo National University showed excellent student participation, with 100 IPP-type long-term field interns and 37 work-learning dual system student workers participating in the IPP project last year. The university focused on managing students and companies intensively, maintaining a zero percent dropout rate for two consecutive years, thus completing the first phase of the project.

Kang Sung-guk, head of the IPP project group, said, “Last year, we worked hard to successfully conclude the first phase of the project while setting directions for the second re-selection project and strengthening the internal foundation of the project group.”

He added, “This year, an unexpected situation arose due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), causing many difficulties in operating long-term field internships and the work-learning dual system. However, as the project group members are doing their best in various ways to overcome this, we will strive to achieve good results again this year,” expressing strong determination regarding project operation.
