Yeungjin College Semiconductor Electronics Department Produces 1,247 Graduates Employed at Major Corporations Including Samsung, SK, and LG Over 10 Years

As semiconductors have become a globally prominent industry in connection with digital new industries such as AI and big data, the Semiconductor Electronics Department at Yeungjin College is emerging as a nationwide leader in job placement.

Over the past ten years (2016?2025), the Semiconductor Electronics Department has produced a total of 1,247 graduates who secured positions at major corporations, establishing itself as a department with strong employment outcomes. Graduates have found employment not only at leading domestic conglomerates such as Samsung, SK, and LG, but also at advanced technology companies across the semiconductor, display, materials and components, and future automobile industries.

Students in the semiconductor electronics department are conducting practical training by inspecting patterns on semiconductor wafers using a microscope.

Graduates who have secured positions at major corporations are distributed nationwide, extending beyond Daegu and North Gyeongsang high school alumni to include those from Gyeonggi, North Chungcheong, South Gyeongsang, South Jeolla, and other regions.

Starting from the 2026 academic year, the Semiconductor Electronics Department will subdivide its curriculum to provide even more systematic education. Four new majors will be introduced: Semiconductor Systems, Semiconductor Convergence Electronics, Eco-friendly Battery Chemical Materials, and Future Mobility, reflecting the trends of advanced industries.

These majors will cover the full spectrum of advanced industries, including memory, power, and system semiconductors, as well as displays, semiconductor post-processing, solar cells, and automotive electronic equipment. Notably, in the 2026 academic year, the department plans to recruit 277 students through both early and regular admissions, the largest quota among junior colleges nationwide.

The Semiconductor Electronics Department boasts the highest level of practical training infrastructure in the country. Various practice labs?including the Semiconductor Equipment Operation Lab, XR Semiconductor Process Equipment Lab, Semiconductor Equipment Control Lab, and Future Automobile Lab?create environments similar to actual industrial sites, helping students rapidly adapt to the workplace.

The department has established close partnerships with semiconductor equipment maintenance companies, including SK hynix, and has supplied nearly 500 equipment engineer talents to these companies to date. Major partner companies include Best PMP Co., Ltd., Able Co., Ltd., Carewell Solutions Co., Ltd., T&S Co., Ltd., and Valex Co., Ltd. The department is recognized as a leading example of an education-to-employment virtuous cycle model that links practical training directly to recruitment.

Kim Jaewan, head professor of the Semiconductor Electronics Department, stated, "As we enter a new industrial era where semiconductors, information and communications, and software converge, our department is devoted to cultivating key talents who will lead industrial development. We will continue to drive educational innovation based on close cooperation with industries."
