[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, trainee reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Gyeongnam Information University held the launch ceremony for the '2021 Blue Ladder Project' on the 23rd at the campus Art Hall.

The Blue Ladder Project is an initiative by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Student Aid Foundation that provides overseas career exploration experiences for students from economically and socially vulnerable groups. Gyeongnam Information University was selected as the lead university to conduct the project.

The university recruited a total of 55 participating students who will take part in language and job training programs at 22 students at Pennsylvania State University of Pittsburgh, 23 students at Burton and South Derbyshire University in the United Kingdom, and 10 students at Kurume University in Japan.

The two-week preliminary education starting from the 23rd will include foreign language education, team building, career education, and safety training.

Although the education was planned as an overseas dispatch program, due to the spread of COVID-19, the courses will be conducted online in real-time over 4 to 5 weeks respectively.

Ha Jong-su, Director of the International Exchange Center, said, "Gyeongnam Information University will take the lead in nurturing global talents by improving students' foreign language skills and overseas employment."
