Activation of High School Graduate Employment... Ulsan Office of Education Holds Meeting with Local Company CEOs

Cheon Chang-su, Superintendent of Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education, and local business leaders communicated about activating employment for high school graduates and fostering talent tailored to companies' needs.

On the 12th, the Ulsan Office of Education held a CEO meeting at the JW Convention Center in Buk-gu. About 120 people attended the event, including Superintendent Cheon Chang-su, representatives of local companies, officials from related organizations, university officials, and principals of vocational high schools.

The city education office has been holding CEO meetings twice a year since 2021 to provide continuous communication between companies and schools and to activate employment for high school graduates through the establishment of an industry-government-academia cooperation system.

At the fifth meeting, more than 50 CEOs from excellent medium-sized and small companies in the Ulsan area, such as K.A.R, Motortronics, Plus Jungjeon-gi, and Hair Reporem, as well as officials from public institutions in Ulsan Innovation City, city hall, and local universities attended.

All these organizations actively cooperate in fostering and hiring local high school graduate talent.

The Ulsan Office of Education also invited Professor Lee Byung-wook, Dean of the College of Education at Chungnam National University, to hold a "Proposal Talk Show for the Development of Vocational Education." Attendees shared opinions on expanding employment for high school graduates from various perspectives, including companies, related organizations, schools, students, and parents.

A company representative who participated in the event said, "In a situation where industrial demand is concentrated in the metropolitan area and the outflow of local talent to other cities and provinces is increasing, everyone agreed that companies should expand hiring of local high school graduates and schools should nurture customized talent to achieve regional innovation."

Superintendent Cheon Chang-su said, "I deeply appreciate all the company representatives and officials who have worked hard to help students from specialized high schools and Meister high schools find employment," adding, "The education office will also do its best to nurture the talent needed by companies."
