[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dongmyung University's innovative employment special lecture using a metaverse platform is attracting attention.

Ranked 7th in employment rate among private universities with over 5,000 students outside the metropolitan area, Dongmyung University was recently selected and awarded as an excellent university in the employment and start-up competency category at the '2021 Korea University Newspaper University Awards.'

The Dongmyung University Career Center has been conducting innovative employment special lectures using the metaverse platform, close on- and offline consulting by professional consultants, and various competency development programs.

The on-campus Field Practice Mediation Hub Center supports university students from regions outside Busan to undertake job-related field practice in the Southeast region.

Even students from other regions can participate in field practice programs linked with specialized companies in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam (Bu-Ul-Gyeong) area, focusing on region-specific strategic industries such as machinery, automobiles, shipbuilding, logistics, and tourism, helping youth employment through this macro project.

The Career Center will also hold an employment camp using the metaverse for disabled university students starting November 10.

Disabled university students and their parents will participate together, using multiple platforms such as the metaverse, LMS, ZOOM, and face-to-face sessions over four weeks.

In operating the metaverse platform, there is also a song gift from Kim In-soon (singer Insooni), a distinguished professor who encourages disabled students. The ice-breaking 'Ojingeo Game' (Squid Game) also draws interest.

Professor Shin Dong-seok (Director of the Career Center) introduced, "In the metaverse, students and their guardians will work together as a team and experience new events that overcome disabilities in the real world."

Professor Shin added, "I hope disabled university students and their guardians will spend time communicating and bonding together, gaining synergy opportunities to further develop their employment competencies."
