Encouraging Current Students to Prepare for Employment Quickly

Gyeongsang National University held a public forum for career and employment guidance officials on the 14th at 2 p.m. in the main lecture hall of the GNU Convention Center.

The Talent Development Institute of Gyeongsang National University is preparing a "Focused Semester System" to enhance members' awareness of career and employment and to encourage students to prepare for employment quickly. As the first step of the project, a public forum was held.

Gyeongsang National University employment and startup guidance officials are conducting a public debate.

The Focused Semester System is a career and employment program that concentrates time and content to support new and transfer students, as well as third-year completers, in designing career goals and improving job-seeking skills.

Through this forum, which involved career and startup guidance professors by major and related support department officials, Gyeongsang National University prioritized collecting field opinions, conducted a workshop demonstrating classes with the focused semester syllabus, and plans to pilot the program in the 2024 academic year targeting applying departments.

The event proceeded with an introduction to the Talent Development Institute’s career programs and promotion directions, advancement of the competency survey system, current university employment rate statistics, introduction of the Focused Semester System, demonstration of youth career guidance program activities, and a public discussion, receiving high interest from attending career and employment guidance professors regarding career and employment guidance.

President Kwon Soon-gi stated, “Without interest in students’ career and employment within departments and majors and continuous guidance, it is difficult to cultivate talents equipped with job competencies required in the social field,” adding, “Departments, majors, and related offices responsible for education and employment should collaborate and focus the university’s capabilities on student employment.”
