[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Chosun University has been selected as an operating university for the University Job Plus Center (hub type) project, hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

According to Chosun University on the 2nd, since the 2022 academic year, Chosun University has been receiving up to 4.5 billion KRW (750 million KRW annually) in project funds for up to six years from the Ministry of Employment and Labor and Gwangju Metropolitan City, enabling it to provide broader career and employment support to enrolled students and local youth.

Chosun University supports major-customized employment planning through a step-by-step roadmap including career exploration, employment competency development, and practical employment.

Furthermore, based on individual student data, the university plans to establish a virtuous cycle employment success model including customized counseling, education, employment linkage, and a family company database, reducing mismatches between companies and job seekers and providing high-quality customized employment support to local youth.

In particular, through the hub-type specialized program, the university plans to discover local talent and actively respond to changes in the recruitment market.

For local youth, the strategy of "admission-education-employment-settlement" will be applied by dividing programs into four tracks based on initial counseling and diagnosis of employment concerns, continuously providing employment information to support job matching.

President Min Young-don of Chosun University stated, “Having received the highest grade of ‘Excellent’ in the University Job Center evaluation and being selected as a regional hub university in this University Job Plus Center project, we will systematically support the career and employment of Chosun University students and local youth.”
