The event was organized to review the successful promotion of the Meister University pilot operation, the current status of the project, and future plans.

Attendees included Dong-Eui Institute of Technology President Kim Young-do, Dean of Academic Affairs Kim Dae-kyung, Dongju University Vice President Oh Myung-geun, Dean of Academic Affairs Kim So-hee, Pukyong National University Director of the Sports Promotion Center Kim Tae-gyu, and Director Yeo Bok-gi of Keun Sol Hospital, among other representatives from participating institutions.

The meeting began with greetings from President Kim Young-do of Dong-Eui Institute of Technology and Vice President Oh Myung-geun of Dongju University, followed by a progress report on the project by Dean Kim Dae-kyung and discussions on project operations.

Starting with discussions on the Meister University pilot operation, the participating entities including universities and hospitals agreed to closely collaborate to establish a model for training highly skilled professional technical talents.

The Meister University pilot operation project is a new initiative launched this year by the Ministry of Education to cultivate highly skilled professional technical talents.

Selected junior colleges will develop and operate advanced job-centered curricula ranging from short-term job courses to professional technical master’s programs.

Dong-Eui Institute of Technology and its partner university Dongju University were selected in April as new universities for the Meister University pilot operation in the field of sports rehabilitation physical therapy, receiving a total project budget of over 2 billion KRW for two years to promote the project.

The two universities provide adult learners with systematic career development opportunities to acquire the latest job skills through the development and operation of industry-tailored curricula.

President Kim Young-do stated, “We will establish an educational environment that allows flexible entry and exit to desired courses according to needs and levels, enabling the combination of work and learning.”
