[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Hannam University announced on the 17th that its on-campus University Job Center has been selected as an ‘Excellent University’ for five consecutive years.

The University Job Center receives an annual project fund of 600 million KRW from the government and Daejeon City to take charge of career guidance and employment/startup support for local university students, including those at Hannam University.

In particular, Hannam University was selected as a pilot university for the University Job Center in 2015 and has received the highest rating from the following year until last year. If an institution is selected as excellent more than three times in the project evaluation, the project period for the University Job Center is extended by one year. In Hannam University’s case, it already met the project period extension condition in 2018, and the project period has been extended until this year.

Currently, Hannam University’s University Job Center has established the Hannam Career Navigation System (HCNS) to support students in managing their competencies and preparing for employment from their first year until graduation. It also supports customized career development through career and employment counseling in organic cooperation with mentor professors, employment-dedicated professors, and employment consultants.

Especially last year, reflecting the COVID-19 situation, it operated career and employment support programs using a non-face-to-face platform and received excellent evaluations.

Lee Jun-jae, head of Hannam University’s University Job Center, said, “This year as well, the university will strive to provide customized career support and employment/startup programs to local youth (university students) in cooperation with related local institutions and companies.”
