Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Opens 'DSME Doodream' Scholarship Center

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) is launching a scholarship center through labor-management agreement to cultivate talent suitable for the era of globalization.

On the 1st, DSME opened the 'DSME Do Dream' Scholarship Center for the children of its employees and in-house partner company employees. The name 'Do Dream' was selected through an employee contest and means "to learn (Do)" and "to dream (Dream)."

This scholarship center was established last year through labor-management agreement during collective bargaining to provide high-quality education for employees' children. The Do Dream Scholarship Center offers quality programs focusing on practical English conversation courses suitable for the era of globalization, moving away from the traditional entrance exam-oriented education centered on Korean, English, and Math.

Applicants are children of DSME employees and in-house partner company employees (with more than one year of service), from 5th grade elementary school to 2nd grade middle school. To ensure intensive classes, a total of 160 students from elementary and middle school levels are selected by lottery, and classes are held twice a week by native speakers and English specialists. Priority selection criteria apply to single-parent families, families with three or more children, and those with disabilities (if siblings or parents have a disability rated grade 3 or higher).

Additionally, for students who are not selected in the offline education lottery, an online video English education taught by native speakers is provided to broaden educational opportunities.
