[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dong-Eui University (President Han Su-hwan) signed an MOU with Busan Lotte Hotel (CEO Seo Jeong-gon) on the morning of the 23rd at 11:30 AM in the Athens Room on the 41st floor of Busan Lotte Hotel to cooperate in training tourism professionals.

The two institutions agreed to collaborate on education and practical training for workforce development to advance the local tourism industry, as well as on necessary promotional activities.

Busan Lotte Hotel will support the successful operation of the Ministry of Education’s “Early Employment-Type Contract Department Leading University Development Project,” which Dong-Eui University is conducting, through collaboration with the Smart Hospitality Department.

The event was attended by Busan Lotte Hotel CEO Seo Jeong-gon, General Manager Lee Dong-joo, Dong-Eui University President Han Su-hwan, Early Employment-Type Contract Department Project Team Leader Kim Sam-yeol, Smart Hospitality Department Professors Kim Kwon-dong, Yeo Ho-geun, Choo Seung-woo, and other related personnel.

Dong-Eui University President Han Su-hwan said, “Through close cooperation with Busan Lotte Hotel, we hope that Dong-Eui University’s Early Employment-Type Contract Department will establish itself as a leading model for nurturing local talent essential for corporate development and continue to grow.”

The “Early Employment-Type Contract Department,” jointly conducted by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology, is a project where excellent local small and medium-sized enterprises collaborate with universities to jointly select new university students, provide practical corporate training and theoretical education, and proceed with corporate hiring together.

In the Early Employment-Type Contract Department, employment is confirmed upon university admission, and tuition fees are also supported.

In the first year, students receive company-customized basic major education at school, and in the second and third years, they undergo on-site practical training at companies while simultaneously deepening their major studies at school. Admission is equivalent to employment, and after completing the three-year curriculum, students earn a bachelor's degree.

Dong-Eui University was selected for this project last year and has been operating departments since March this year by selecting new students in three departments: the College of Business Smart Hospitality Department (30 students), the College of IT Convergence Components and Materials Future Automotive Department (40 students), and the College of ICT Software Convergence Department (30 students).
