[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] If students acquire the skills needed on-site in advance at university, companies can save time and costs.

For universities, employment is guaranteed, so there is no need to worry about students' career paths after graduation. It is an educational program beneficial to both universities and companies.

Although universities are facing difficulties recruiting freshmen due to the declining school-age population, this customized education, where admission directly leads to employment, is gaining great popularity at universities.

Gyeongnam Information University (President Chu Man-seok) will hold a tripartite agreement ceremony for customized education with the Samsung Heavy Industries Partner Council and Samsung Heavy Industries Technical Training Center on April 15 in the university's main conference hall.

The Samsung Heavy Industries-Gyeongnam Information University customized education program selects 40 to 100 enrolled students when Samsung Heavy Industries 'orders' the talent they want.

These students complete company-tailored education and then are employed by Samsung Heavy Industries' first-tier partner companies.

Since on-site experience is important, Samsung Heavy Industries Technical Training Center dispatches instructors directly to the university to educate students and systematically supports field training.

Im Bong-seok, Executive Director of Samsung Heavy Industries Technical Training Center, said, "We will spare no support at the Technical Training Center to separately select excellent students from Gyeongnam Information University and nurture them into talents who can be immediately deployed on-site."

Through this agreement, students who graduate from the 'Samsung Heavy Industries Separate Class' will be hired and work at Samsung Heavy Industries' first-tier partner companies.

Park Jae-sung, Chairman of the Samsung Heavy Industries Partner Council, said with pleasure, "By hiring students who received Samsung's technical education during their university years, partner companies have reduced the burden of additional training and can work immediately with well-trained talents."

Chu Man-seok, President of Gyeongnam Information University, said, "The signing of a large-scale customized education agreement between Samsung Heavy Industries, the nation's top company, and our university signifies the realization of an advanced model of industry-academia cooperation," adding, "Gyeongnam Information University will expand practical customized education with companies to establish a university environment where admission directly leads to employment."
