Gwangju University Accelerates 'Customized Talent Development' in the Era of the 4th Industrial Revolution

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju University (President Kim Hyuk-jong) is accelerating the cultivation of customized talents demanded by industries in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution through convergence education.

The Gwangju University University Innovation Support Project Group announced on the 5th that it will carry out the 'Convergence Major Operation and Contest Program' project to operate and establish convergence major courses to enhance the employment and creative capabilities of enrolled students.

The University Innovation Support Project Group plans to select convergence major departments on the 13th and support invited special lectures, on-campus and off-campus practice expenses, field learning, and tours.

Through this project, Gwangju University expects to improve creative convergence capabilities by advancing the existing convergence major operations, expand creative convergence capability curricula through the design of new convergence majors, and activate the establishment and operation of convergence majors by holding faculty workshops related to convergence majors.

The convergence major curriculum involves participation from two or more departments, supporting five existing convergence major courses and selecting ten newly established convergence major courses.

The existing convergence majors are ▲Global Trade ▲Public Design ▲Entrepreneurship ▲International Medical Tourism ▲VR Video Drone ▲Future Automotive Electronics ▲Cruise ▲Beauty Video Creator ▲Early Childhood Cultural Contents ▲Electric Vehicle Parts.

Previously, Gwangju University conducted a satisfaction survey on educational demand among enrolled students and industries, discussing the strengthening of convergence education curricula and the necessity of major courses based on the resulting report.

Kim Hwang-yong, head of the Gwangju University University Innovation Support Project Group, said, “Gwangju University has shown results in stable employment by operating convergence major courses,” adding, “However, in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, which demands talents with convergence capabilities, we will further expand convergence education curricula to provide employment opportunities.”
