The Department of Applied Artificial Intelligence at Dongmyung University is enhancing its reputation by maintaining the highest employment rate among departments in the same field in the Busan region, thanks to its systematic job placement support and tailored education.

This department is helping graduates transition smoothly into society by operating a variety of programs that align with key recruitment trends such as "job-based hiring" and the demand for "practical talent." These programs include: a four-stage employment support system optimized for hiring trends; a Co-op program that strengthens on-site practical skills through alternating experiences at companies and the university; and specialized job competency training spanning 6 to 8 months and totaling 900 hours.

The four-stage employment support system begins with major courses and mentoring in "AI and Future Planning," which help students explore their aptitudes and desired job roles. This is followed by participation in extracurricular activities, hands-on experience in corporate environments through internships, and advanced training tailored to their preferred job roles, all of which boost students' confidence in securing employment.

In particular, the Waterloo-style Co-op program offers field-oriented education that allows students to alternate between companies and the university, gaining practical experience. Through collaboration with industry-academic cooperation companies such as Samwon FA, students assess their abilities and limitations, thereby strengthening their competitiveness in the job market.

During the second semester of their senior year, students undergo intensive training in core software technologies for approximately 6 to 8 months, totaling 900 hours. They create high-quality portfolios and are registered in the corporate talent pool. Over the past three years, more than 70 students have secured positions at leading IT companies such as Kakao Enterprise and Lotte Data Communication. Additionally, students have demonstrated their capabilities by winning awards for outstanding papers at national academic conferences, including the Korea Multimedia Society, every year.

Department head Lee Eungju stated, "Our goal is not simply the employment rate itself, but rather the cultivation of practical talent who can deliver results immediately in the industrial field." He added, "We will actively support our students so they can develop their own capabilities and grow into the professionals that society needs."

Industry experts have evaluated these achievements as the result of a three-pronged approach combining job-specific education, practical experience, and intensive technical training. They expect that this educational system, which meets the demands of industry, will serve as a strong foundation for expanding students' employment opportunities in the future.
