The main contents of the agreement include personnel and information exchange to support industry-academia-government cooperation, mutual cooperation to promote domestic and foreign investment attraction, and fostering talent and international customized education for companies attracted to invest.

Through this agreement, the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone Authority plans to carry out joint investment attraction activities targeting outstanding overseas companies, and when foreign-invested companies move into the free economic zone, they will stably nurture and supply customized high-level technical talent in cooperation with Yeungjin College.

Yeungjin College explained that it ranked first nationwide among vocational colleges in the employment statistics survey announced by the Ministry of Education's university information disclosure in 2023, and that its average employment rate over the past six years has been 80%, with the highest overseas employment rate in the country, all as a result of its customized education system.

Yeungjin College's customized education system is a tailored education program in which the college receives requests from industries for specific educational content and required personnel, provides training accordingly, and assists with employment. By developing and providing practical, hands-on curricula, the college increases field adaptability, while companies can reduce training costs for new employees and secure talent early, drawing significant interest from both domestic and international companies.

Kim Byungsam, Commissioner of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone Authority, stated, "Through strengthening the industry-academia-government cooperation system, we will contribute to the development of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk regional industry by achieving results in attracting foreign investment and fostering outstanding talent with technological competitiveness."
