622 Hired at Major Companies Including Samsung Over 5 Years... Yeungjin College Semiconductor Electronics Department "Noteworthy"

Daegu Yeungjin College (President Choi Jae-young) announced on the 10th that the Semiconductor Electronics Department has employed 622 people at large companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix over the past five years.

It was found that students from prestigious high schools nationwide are applying to this department, including 49 from high schools in Ulsan, 32 from high schools in Gyeongnam, and 25 from high schools in Jeonnam.

In particular, 20 students from high schools in the Gyeonggi region, where Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are located, have been employed by SK Hynix, LG Display, Samsung SDI, and others. These students, who know the status of large companies in the Gyeonggi region better than anyone else, developed their expertise in the Semiconductor Electronics Department at Daegu Yeungjin College and advanced to large companies in their home region.

Yeungjin College views this as the result of the Semiconductor Electronics Department's focus on specialized education in semiconductors, displays, and materials and components, as well as customized on-site training tailored to advanced industry companies.

Looking at the employment of graduates from the Semiconductor Electronics Department between 2018 and 2022 at large companies, there were 91 at SK Hynix, 72 at LG Innotek, 62 at LG Display, 55 at SK Siltron, 45 at Samsung SDI, 19 at Hanwha Q CELLS Korea, 12 at Samsung Electronics, and 10 at Samsung Electro-Mechanics, totaling 622 people.

The industries of the employing companies are diverse, including ICT companies such as electronics, semiconductors, displays, and mobile communications, as well as bio, energy chemistry, and public enterprises.

In June, the Semiconductor Electronics Department was the only specialized college selected by the Ministry of Education for the ‘Advanced Field Innovation Convergence University Semiconductor Materials, Parts, and Equipment (SoBuJang)’ sector, giving further momentum to nurturing talent in the semiconductor and electronics fields.

The Semiconductor Electronics Department, which signed a customized education agreement with SK Hynix and has sent nearly 500 semiconductor process maintenance personnel to the company by last year, plans to contribute to the growth of semiconductors as a nationally led industry with global competitiveness through the ‘Innovation Convergence University’ project, together with Sungkyunkwan University, Dankook University, Jeonbuk National University, and Gyeongsang National University.

Ha Jong-bong, head (professor) of the Semiconductor Electronics Department at Yeungjin College, said, "We will devote ourselves further to nurturing core talents who will lead new industries where semiconductors, information communication, and software converge, so that we can drive national industrial development. We will also play a leading role in cultivating key talents who will play pivotal roles in the industrial sites of new industries and do our best to make customized education a stepping stone to the next level."
