Practical training in the semiconductor field.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Gyeongnam Information University has entered the semiconductor specialized workforce training project.

Gyeongnam Information University (President Chu Man-seok) announced on the 11th that it was selected for the next-generation semiconductor field in the "Support Project for Specialized Leading Colleges in New Industry Fields" promoted by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea.

The Support Project for Specialized Leading Colleges in New Industry Fields selects a total of nine specialized new industry fields and starts with a total support of 12 billion KRW this year (1 billion KRW per university), focusing on training professional technical talents to lead new industry changes over three years until 2023.

Fifty specialized colleges applied for this project, and a total of 12 schools were selected. The project will be officially launched after the agreement signing in early June.

Gyeongnam Information University, selected in the next-generation semiconductor field, will receive 1 billion KRW this year with the newly established Semiconductor Department in 2022 as the main department.

Through curriculum innovation such as field training and intensive completion systems, establishment of advanced educational environments, and building industry-academia-research cooperation systems, it will produce professional technical personnel in the next-generation semiconductor field.

Gyeongnam Information University, the only one selected for this project in the Busan area, was recently also selected for the energy new industry field of the "Digital New Technology Talent Training Innovation Shared University" project, laying the foundation to leap forward as a specialized college in new industries.

President Chu Man-seok of Gyeongnam Information University said, "Due to the global semiconductor supply shortage, the demand for domestic semiconductor-related personnel will increase," and added, "Gyeongnam Information University will systematically train and produce specialized personnel in the next-generation semiconductor field."
