Selected as a High-Tech Specialized High School... New Establishment Next Year

Starting next year, a 'Semiconductor Contract Department' will be established at Icheon Jeil High School located in Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do.

On the 14th, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do announced that Icheon Jeil High School was recently selected for the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education's 'Future New Industry High-Tech Specialized High School Contract Department Operation Project.'

Accordingly, from next year, the school will establish a 'Semiconductor Contract Department' with one class of 22 students. This department will provide education on semiconductor concepts, experiments, and practical training in connection with the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Institute and semiconductor shared universities.

The establishment of this semiconductor contract department is a project promoted by Icheon-si with the goal of providing stable semiconductor professionals to SK Hynix, a representative local company, and advancing as a leading city centered on advanced semiconductors.

Earlier, in April, the city signed a 'Semiconductor Talent Development Business Agreement' with SK Hynix, Icheon Education Support Office, and Korea Ceramic Technology Institute to establish the semiconductor contract department at Icheon Jeil High School. According to the agreement, the involved institutions will closely cooperate to support semiconductor professionals and practical equipment, as well as field training and facility use.

In July, the school also operated the 'Semiconductor Technology Academy Bridge Program,' a practical training course on semiconductor manufacturing processes, for third-year students in the Digital Electronics Department.

Kim Kyung-hee, mayor of Icheon-si, said, "The establishment of this semiconductor contract department is the fruit of continuous cooperation among the local community, including the Icheon Education Support Office, SK Hynix, and Korea Ceramic Technology Institute," adding, "We will continue to faithfully fulfill our role as a core city for nurturing semiconductor talent."

Meanwhile, the day before, Icheon-si signed a business agreement with Yongin-si to grow the two regions into central cities of the semiconductor mega cluster and agreed to cooperate on workforce development and transportation network expansion.
