[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Inje University announced on the 12th that its University Job Center has started operating an NCS job basic competency enhancement program utilizing artificial intelligence (AI).

The University Job Center, considering the difficulty of face-to-face employment education for students due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), is offering a global business conversation program free of charge from the 7th to December 31st through the ‘PAGODA AI Tutor Program’ jointly developed by Pagoda Education Group and LG CNS.

Unlike the traditional business English conversation conducted between people online and offline, this program allows learning between a person and AI without restrictions of time and space. To enhance ‘communication skills,’ one of the top 10 NCS job basic competencies, it utilizes AI’s voice recognition function and sentence similarity algorithms to enable situational business conversations.

Last year, the program was only available to enrolled students, but from this year, it has been significantly expanded to include graduates, students on leave, and local youth.

Bae Sung-yoon, head of the University Job Center, said, “Although the door to employment is becoming narrower due to the impact of COVID-19, there is a saying that opportunity comes to those who are prepared,” adding, “We will spare no effort to provide a program that can be learned anytime and anywhere so that students can successfully find employment.”
