Operating Over 45 Career Experience Programs Annually
Korea's Only 'Near Peer Mentoring' Camp

UNIST (President Jongrae Park) has been selected as a certified institution for the ‘Education Donation Career Experience Institution Certification’ organized by the Ministry of Education and will operate as a certified institution until 2027.

UNIST received high praise for providing career exploration opportunities to local youth through a systematic curriculum in the field of advanced science and technology.

The ‘Education Donation Career Experience Institution Certification’ is a system that certifies institutions providing high-quality career experience programs in the local community by comprehensively evaluating factors such as the nature of the experience site, environment and safety, and program excellence.

The UNIST Leadership Center operates career experience programs annually for about 2,500 local middle and high school students. Since 2023, it has strengthened AI (Artificial Intelligence) and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) convergence programs, offering creative camps to more than 300 local students.

In particular, the UNIST STEM Camp is the only university-student to middle and high school student cooperative (Near Peer) mentoring program in Korea, where UNIST students directly plan projects and participating students actively carry out the projects in a hands-on educational camp.

This camp conducts advanced STEM programs such as autonomous driving RC car production and six-legged walking robot development. All participants showed positive responses, and the re-participation intention rate reached 100%.

A representative from the Leadership Center said, “This certification officially recognizes UNIST’s provision of creative career exploration opportunities to the local community and youth,” adding, “We will continue to support students to grow into talents with creative insight through various advanced science and technology-based programs.”
