Gyeongnam Jeongbodae Establishes Network for Next-Generation Semiconductor Talent Development

Gyeongnam Information University (President Kim Dae-sik) is establishing a nationwide network to foster talent in the next-generation semiconductor field.

On the 17th, the New Industry Specialized Project Group of Gyeongnam Information University signed a "4-University Business Agreement for Shared and Collaborative Talent Development in the Next-Generation Semiconductor Field" with Daelim University, Osan University, and Chosun College of Science and Technology at the DoubleTree by Hilton Pangyo in Seongnam.

The four universities are participating in the Ministry of Education's "Specialized Leading Colleges Support Project in New Industry Fields" in the next-generation semiconductor sector.

According to the agreement, the four universities will establish a close mutual cooperation system to share strategies for cultivating semiconductor professionals, operate joint curricula, collaborate on extracurricular programs, and broadly exchange and cooperate using each university's human and material resources and capabilities.

Participants of the 'Next-Generation Semiconductor Business Performance Expansion and Semiconductor Talent Development Forum' are taking a group commemorative photo.

They also jointly held the "Talent Development Forum for the Dissemination of Next-Generation Semiconductor Project Outcomes and Semiconductor Talent Cultivation." The forum was attended by over 80 people, including representatives from the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association, related semiconductor organizations, and industry personnel.

At the forum, Lee Ji-han, Director of the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association, gave a special lecture on "Current Status of the Semiconductor Industry and Major Workforce Development Policies," and Park Geun-oh, Director of Korea Spectral Products, presented on "Trends in Equipment Technology Required for Next-Generation Semiconductor Manufacturing." The event also featured expert discussions on semiconductor workforce development and presentations of best practices and achievements from the four universities.

Im Jun-woo, head of the project group at Gyeongnam Information University, stated, "To advance the semiconductor talent development system, the four universities will continue to cooperate, and we will do our best to nurture students as customized talents in the next-generation semiconductor field through an industry-academia-research-government network centered on the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association."
