[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Hannam University has produced practical professionals through specialized job training in the latest trend fields such as semiconductors.

According to the university on the 24th, Hannam University’s University Job Plus Center operated a regional hub-type specialized program from July to this month targeting local youth, including current students and graduates, cultivating over 150 practical professionals.

The program was conducted in various fields such as the Semiconductor Expert Course, Digital Marketing Expert Course, and Smart Office Course.

In particular, the semiconductor process practice was by far the most popular among the operating programs. The opportunity was rare in the region due to the absence of practice institutions, which led to a surge in applicants.

In fact, the university explained that the program initially recruited 40 people over two sessions, but over 250 young people applied within two days, leading to early closure of applications. Due to continuous demand, an additional “Semiconductor Job and Process Expert Course” was also opened and operated.

The Semiconductor Expert Course was developed in partnership with the Nano Convergence Technology Institute and included practical training on the “8 major semiconductor Fab process equipment.” The curriculum provided opportunities to practice on the latest equipment used in the field and receive process training directly from highly skilled researchers.

Above all, mentoring by employees of foreign semiconductor companies, special lectures by local semiconductor companies, and company visits were highly popular linked programs among participating youth.

Multiple young participants in the training shared, “Typically, semiconductor education takes place in the metropolitan area and is costly, focusing mainly on theory, which did not motivate participation. However, this training was beneficial as it covered semiconductor jobs, processes, and practical theory, and allowed hands-on practice with actual semiconductor equipment at the Nano Convergence Technology Institute.”
