Dong-A University Hosts Joint Employment Camp with Four Universities from Yeongnam and Honam Regions

Dong-A University held the '2023 Academic Year Yeong-Honam 4-University Joint Employment Camp' to strengthen students' employment capabilities.

The employment camp, held over two nights and three days from the 29th to the 31st of last month at the Kolon Hotel in Gyeongju, was attended by a total of 80 students, with 20 students each from Dong-A University, Yeungnam University, Wonkwang University, and Chosun University.

Since signing an exchange agreement in 1998, the four universities including Dong-A University have been hosting the joint employment camp annually since 2007. After a six-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the camp resumed this year.

At this employment camp, students were provided with valuable time through sessions such as 'How to Write a Self-Introduction Using Chat GPT,' reflecting recent recruitment trends, a special lecture on 'Future Career Paths (Promising Industries and Occupations),' and mentoring by recent hires from each university. Group activities and cultural events were also held to enhance engagement.

Additionally, staff members from the four universities shared excellent employment support cases through university-specific presentations and discussed employment support methods considering regional and industrial characteristics.

The '2023 Academic Year Yeong-Honam Four Universities Joint Employment Camp' organized by Dong-A University is currently underway.

Oh Eung-su, Director of Student and Employment Support at Dong-A University, said, "The Yeong-Honam Joint Employment Camp is a great opportunity to enhance students' employment competitiveness through customized education reflecting the characteristics of the four universities. We will continue to provide an open space for friendly competition and information sharing among participating universities."

Jo Yeon-seo, a student from Dong-A University who participated in the camp, said, "It was a meaningful opportunity to think about career paths and employment together with senior students."

Kang Hyun-gyu, a student from Wonkwang University, said, "I was curious about how students from other universities prepare for employment, and this event became a valuable opportunity to exchange information."
