Forecast, KDIC-Academic Collaboration Program Recruiting Regional Universities

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] The Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC) announced on the 6th that it is accepting applications from universities located in provincial areas for the 'KDIC-Academic Cooperation Program (KEPA),' which is operated to enhance the financial industry understanding of university students and others.

KEPA is KDIC's representative industry-academia cooperation program that started in 2011 and has been ongoing for nine years. KDIC employees visit universities directly to give lectures during business and economics classes on the deposit insurance system, major issues in different financial sectors, and KDIC's recruitment system.

This year, considering the non-face-to-face lecture situation due to COVID-19, KDIC is operating an online KEPA by distributing lecture videos. Applicants can separately request desired non-face-to-face Q&A sessions, and the format of the program can be adjusted considering each university's lecture platform.

Universities located in provincial areas wishing to participate in the program can apply by the 16th of this month. KDIC stated that it will continue to actively support government policies for fostering local talent and realizing social value, and plans to continuously develop the program by reflecting the needs of university students and others through satisfaction surveys and other feedback.
