[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 6th that it will conduct the 2021 Winter Vacation University Student Intern Program to help local university students improve their social adaptability and employment competitiveness through workplace experience at public institutions.

The 2021 University Student Intern Program will be operated four times a year, allowing a total of about 500 university students to participate. The first recruitment for this program includes 132 positions across 65 fields such as Daegu City Hall, city business offices, affiliated centers, invested and funded institutions, public corporations, and public enterprises.

Applicants must be under 29 years old and currently enrolled or on leave at universities located in Daegu or Gyeongbuk with resident registration in Daegu. Interested candidates can apply from the 7th to the 18th through the banner on the Daegu City website.

Intern applicants can check the job descriptions, workplaces, majors, and qualification criteria for each field and apply to their desired area. Applicants for each recruitment field will be selected in order of highest scores based on criteria such as major, academic year, certifications, and volunteer activities.

Students finally selected for the winter vacation university student intern program will work for five weeks from January 18 to February 19 next year (5 days a week, 6 hours per day). They will receive a wage of 9,500 KRW per hour.

Kang Myung-sook, Director of the Women's and Youth Education Bureau of Daegu City, said, "The university student intern program is highly preferred because students can develop social adaptability through work experience at public institutions and also earn their own living expenses," adding, "We will continue to develop various workplaces to support more university students to participate."

Meanwhile, the Daegu City university student intern program, which started in 2016, has shown a high competition rate of about 14 to 1 on average.
