Looking at the employment rates by university with more than 2,000 graduates, Kyungbok University recorded the highest rate of 79.8% among junior colleges. It was followed by Daelim College (77.4%), Yeungjin College (75.2%), and Seoyoung University (75.0%).

Among four-year general universities, Sungkyunkwan University had the highest employment rate at 78.5%, followed by Seoul National University (71.1%), Yonsei University (70.8%), and Hanyang University (70.6%).

The reasons for Kyungbok University's top employment rate include ▲ industry-academic agreements with over 8,400 companies ▲ operation of the Industry-Academic Cooperation LINC3.0 project ▲ the Specialized College Innovation Support Project focused on strengthening employment and job competencies ▲ and the University Job Center Project for nurturing field-customized talents.

Ham Do-hoon, head of Kyungbok University’s University Job Center and Employment Office, evaluated, "The high employment rate of 79.8% achieved by Kyungbok University during a difficult time for youth employment due to COVID-19 is a meaningful achievement resulting from the trinity of a broad industry-academic cooperation network, student-selective integrated curriculum centered on practical fieldwork, and a student-customized employment support system at the University Job Center reflecting current trends."

Meanwhile, Kyungbok University's employment rates by year were 76.9% in 2017, 75.5% in 2018, 78.2% in 2019, 80.2% in 2020, and 77.7% in 2021.
