[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dong-Eui Institute of Technology (President Kim Young-do) has been selected as an operator of the 'Cheonghaejin University' program supporting overseas employment for the fourth consecutive year.

The Cheonghaejin project, hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, is an overseas employment support program that selects and supports universities with the capacity to serve as strategic hubs to encourage university youth to enter promising and specialized overseas occupations.

Selected universities can receive support of up to 10 million KRW per overseas employment target person annually, and can carry out the project for up to five years depending on performance.

On the 16th, the Human Resources Development Service of Korea announced the selection results for the first half of 2021 Cheonghaejin University operators, and Dong-Eui Institute of Technology was selected for two courses related to employment in Japan.

Since 2018, Dong-Eui Institute of Technology has been operating two K-Move School courses, including the 'Automotive Parts and Mechanical Design Course (Mechanical Department),' contributing to the activation of youth overseas employment.

So far, 65 students have completed overseas employment courses: 10 in 2018, 10 in 2019, and 45 in 2020.

Although overseas employment opportunities were blocked for a long time last year due to visa issuance and entry restrictions caused by COVID-19, recent vaccine distribution and expectations for economic recovery suggest that the mid- to long-term outlook for the Japanese employment market this year will be brighter than last year.

Dong-Eui Institute of Technology will newly operate the 'Japanese Employment Automotive Parts and Mechanical Design Course (Mechanical Department)' and the 'Japanese Employment Automotive Wire Harness Design Course (Automotive Department)'.

From April 5, 33 current students wishing to work in Japan will be selected. A 48-week, 600-hour human resource development course to strengthen overseas employment capabilities will be conducted. The education consists of intensive Japanese language training linked to the relevant major and on-site education in Japan to improve overseas adaptability.

Park Cheol-woo, head of the Employment Support Center, said, “We will expand the path to overseas employment through systematic curricula and thorough student management in cooperation with Japanese companies,” adding, “In the post-COVID-19 era, we will spare no educational and administrative support so that young people do not give up and can achieve their dreams of overseas employment.”
