[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chosun Institute of Technology and Yeungnam Institute of Technology, representing technical colleges in Yeongnam and Honam regions, have come together to enhance social value.

Chosun Institute of Technology (President Cho Soon-gye) announced on the 1st that it held the "Yeongnam-Honam Technical College Workshop for Enhancing Social Value Between Regions" on the 28th and 29th of last month.

The event, held at JCS Hotel Yeosu, was organized to share strategic frameworks for the sustainable growth and value enhancement of the universities.

Following a lecture on "Establishing and Operating ESG Strategic Frameworks in Universities (Korea ESG Management Development Institute)," thematic discussions were held on each university’s ▲admissions ▲employment ▲industry-academia cooperation sectors.

Along with this, a social value enhancement agreement ceremony between Yeongnam and Honam was conducted. According to the agreement, from next year, both universities plan to develop and operate people-centered inclusive society programs, safe and sustainable environmental improvement programs, and cooperative citizen and community programs.

Chosun Institute of Technology and Yeungnam Institute of Technology first met in 2013 as representative technical universities of Yeongnam and Honam regions and signed an exchange agreement for mutual development.

Since then, the two universities have conducted team leader leadership enhancement workshops together, and except for the pandemic period caused by COVID-19, students from both universities have communicated annually by traveling between Daegu and Gwangju through the "One Science and Technology Camp."

Notably, in 2020, when the Daegu region faced difficulties due to COVID-19, the Chosun Institute of Technology Faculty Council and Labor Union raised funds to support Yeungnam Institute of Technology with masks and hand sanitizers, drawing attention.

President Cho Soon-gye of Chosun Institute of Technology said, “The strong bond that has continued beyond the regional barrier of Yeongnam and Honam has been a great strength for overcoming the current difficult university environment,” and added, “Our university hopes to write a new history with Yeungnam Institute of Technology through this deep friendship, advancing one step further like brothers who care for each other through various exchanges and cooperation.”
