[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyunju] Inje University announced on the 2nd that it has been reselected for the 'IPP-type Work-Learning Dual System Project' organized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea.

The IPP-type Work-Learning Dual System Project operates two programs at universities: 'Work-Learning Dual System' and 'Long-term Field Training,' serving as an industry-academia cooperation model to enhance university students' practical skills and resolve manpower mismatches between universities and companies.

In particular, the Work-Learning Dual System involves early employment in the first semester of the senior year, where universities provide off-the-job training (OFF-JT) and companies conduct on-the-job training (OJT) focused on industrial fieldwork, cultivating practical talents suited for the industrial field.

Inje University was the first in the Gyeongnam region to be selected for the IPP-type Work-Learning Dual System Project in 2016. Over the past four years, 493 students completed long-term field training, and 91 students secured employment through the Work-Learning Dual System.

Currently, in the fifth year of the project, 100 long-term field trainees are performing OJT job duties, and 30 Work-Learning Dual System student workers are participating in training.

Bae Seong-yoon, Director of the Student Employment Office and Head of the IPP-type Work-Learning Dual System Project Group, stated, "Based on the excellent results achieved from the first to the fourth year, we will produce outstanding outcomes in the fifth year as well," adding, "We will strive to operate the project to increase youth employment rates by enhancing satisfaction for companies and students and fostering practical talents through collaboration with related departments such as the University Job Center within the Student Employment Office."
