[Asia Economy (Namyangju) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Kyungbok University is operating various self-development programs for enrolled students during the summer vacation, including overseas employment support training, certification acquisition, and foreign language special lectures.

Among them, the overseas free language training program, one of the KBU Overseas Employment Support Programs, is the most popular. Kyungbok University has signed an agreement with MDIS University in Singapore and supports 360 students annually with full coverage of airfare, tuition, and accommodation fees.

This summer's Singapore overseas free language training program is conducted in two phases. The first phase took place for two weeks from the 25th of last month to the 10th of this month. The second phase continues from the 9th to the 24th of this month. A total of 120 students are participating in this training.

The overseas language training program is divided into language training and local cultural experience events. The overseas language training was temporarily suspended in 2020 due to COVID-19 but resumed after two years.

A Kyungbok University official stated, "We are currently operating the KBU Overseas Employment Support Program in connection with 31 overseas universities in 10 countries," adding, "We have been recognized for excellent educational quality by being selected as an Excellent University for Internationalization Competency in 2021, chosen for the 2022 Global Field Learning Support Project, and designated as a university for government-invited foreign scholarship students in 2022."
