[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dongmyung University, which operates the ‘signature mentoring’ program where an industry professor and a university major professor simultaneously serve as mentors for one student, will expand the scale of mentoring this year.

Industry professors, composed of active industry personnel, are gaining popularity as premium mentors with practical benefits in employment and career guidance.

Dongmyung University announced on the 28th that it will start mentoring with an increased scale of 200 more participants than last year.

The Dongmyung University Social Customized Industry-Academia Cooperation Leading University (LINC+) Development Project Group (Director Shin Dong-seok) will hold the 9th Double Mentoring Launch Ceremony and Industry Professor Appointment Ceremony at 4 p.m. on the 29th in the main auditorium of the Central Library.

Due to COVID-19 prevention guidelines, the number of on-site participants is limited to 100, and it will also be conducted simultaneously online using Zoom.

Double Mentoring is an industry-academia cooperation-friendly human resource development education program where industry professors currently working as executives or employees collaborate with university professors to jointly guide students in academics, majors, character, and career paths.

This year, Double Mentoring involves a total of 836 participants, including 60 professors, 132 industry professors (industry mentors), and 644 students. This is about 200 more than last year.

Teams of three?professor, industry professor (industry), and student?will be formed, and for about eight months until November 26, they will continue character education and employment career guidance at least once a month, followed by a performance report meeting in December.

Director Shin Dong-seok said, “The significant increase in participants this year is because Double Mentoring, implemented under the motto of ‘Industry and University as One,’ has proven to be a top contributor to employment.”

He added, “By increasing the time students receive vivid career guidance from industry professors during their studies, we will enhance their employment capabilities.”
