The "Career Day," which the Department of Police Science holds annually, consists of step-by-step programs: career exploration (Ready) for police and related professions, motivation through visits to police educational institutions (Set), and preparation for public service entry through physical fitness tests and mock exams (Go).

About 200 students participated in the event, including those aspiring to enter not only police (police officer and police executive) fields but also probation, correctional services, immigration control, firefighting, court positions, and other legal and public safety sectors.

Special lecturers included Choi Sangpil, professor at Dong-A University Law School; Kim Yongho, professor at Kyungil University Department of Police Science; Kim Huigyeom, attorney and Dong-A University Law School alumnus; Park Younghye, police officer at Bukbu Police Station in Busan; Lee Seongjin, audit officer at Busan Fire and Disaster Headquarters; Park Biju, inspector at the Investigation Division of Bukbu Police Station in Busan; Hwang Yumi, director of the Saha-gu Youth Counseling and Welfare Center in Busan; and Lee Seunguk, correctional officer at Busan Prison. They shared their field experience and career planning expertise.

Additionally, students themselves participated in career planning workshops for "Korean Coast Guard" and "Prosecution" tracks, and shared their experiences preparing for double majors and exchange student programs.

Jo Yujin, a third-year student and president of the Department of Police Science student council, and Kim Taeyoung, a third-year student and vice president of the student council, said, "Listening to stories from professionals in various fields, which are difficult to understand without direct experience, greatly increased our interest in and motivation for career planning."

Byeon Jiweon, a second-year student, said, "My perspective on career choices has broadened, and it became an opportunity to think concretely about what preparations I need to make going forward."

Heo Hwang, head of the Department of Police Science, said, "Through the special lectures by professionals, it was a meaningful time for students to get a sense in advance of what specific roles they can and should pursue in the future."
