[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Mokwon University has been reselected as an operating university for the IPP-type Work-Learning Parallel Program.

According to Mokwon University on the 13th, this program is implemented under the supervision of the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea.

The main purpose of the program is to strengthen college students' practical skills in the field and to resolve the manpower mismatch between universities and companies.

As a type of industry-academia cooperation model, through long-term field training, companies secure excellent personnel they need, and students have the opportunity to acquire both theoretical and practical skills.

Following the re-selection result, Mokwon University will receive 2 billion KRW in national funding to carry out the project from March next year to February 2028.

The university explained that the re-selection was possible because it received high scores in the evaluation of the project's performance over the past three years, the university's willingness to participate, and its industry-academia exchange capabilities.

Previously, Mokwon University has been conducting the IPP-type Work-Learning Parallel Program since 2018 and stood out by being selected twice as the best operating university.

A representative of the Mokwon University IPP-type Work-Learning Parallel Program team said, “We will do our best to cultivate field-oriented talents required in practical workplaces through this program.”
