[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Mokpo National University (President Park Min-seo) announced on the 3rd that its on-campus IPP Project Group (Director Kang Sung-guk) won the Encouragement Award at the ‘2020 Work-Learning Parallel Video (UCC) Contest’ hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea.

The awarded work, ‘I Want to Know About IPP,’ begins with a student's employment-related news and then explores the IPP-type work-learning parallel system, introducing various advantages of participating in IPP such as major skill improvement, academic credit recognition, and fostering practical talent, concluding by encouraging active participation from students and companies.

Kang Sung-guk, director of the IPP Project Group, said, “Since people mainly consume video media rather than text, this contest was well aligned with current trends,” and added, “Going forward, the IPP Project Group will produce various promotional videos in line with the video era trend to utilize them for recruiting students and companies.”

Meanwhile, Mokpo National University was selected as an excellent university for two consecutive years in the 2019 IPP-type work-learning parallel performance evaluation, establishing itself as a leader in the IPP project. This year as well, it is actively matching 100 long-term interns and 36 work-learning parallel student workers with companies (institutions).
