Air Busan Completes Educational Donation Activity 'Kkumdamgi Dream Classroom'

Students participating in the Dream Classroom by Kkumdamgi are receiving in-flight service training.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Air Busan conducted a career experience program providing job training and career counseling for local high school students aspiring to become flight attendants.

From the 10th, Air Busan held the career experience program "Kkumdamgi (a company that embraces dreams) Dream Classroom" for about 40 high school students in the Busan area over three days.

The program included education where participants could directly experience and understand the flight attendant profession through ▲introduction to the cabin crew job ▲in-flight service practice ▲firefighting ▲first aid ▲emergency evacuation training.

Air Busan reported that the students showed high participation and satisfaction by conducting hands-on training in a mock-up training room designed identically to an aircraft cabin, where they wore flight attendant uniforms and received training, creating a realistic experience.

Since signing a business agreement with the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education in 2020 for the "Kkumdamgi Dream Classroom," Air Busan has been running this program for four years.

In 2020 and 2021, the program was held once a year, but since last year, the frequency has increased to once each during the winter and summer vacations.

Because there are almost no flight attendant career experience programs for local high school students, more students than the capacity applied each time. Therefore, since last year, the recruitment capacity has been doubled to provide higher quality job training to more students.

So far, about 100 students have completed Air Busan's Kkumdamgi program.

Joo So-hyun, a second-year student at Sajik High School who participated in Air Busan's Kkumdamgi Dream Classroom, said, "It was new and special to directly experience the training process that actual new flight attendants receive," adding, "It was a meaningful time that allowed me to take a step closer to my long-held dream of becoming a flight attendant."

An Air Busan official said, "Providing opportunities for local students to dream is our mission to contribute to the local community, and we have continued this program without interruption even during the COVID-19 situation," adding, "We plan to continuously enhance the quality of education by expanding to other job groups such as flight operation, maintenance, and flight management."
