Establishing a Busan-Style Semiconductor Talent Development System
"Anticipating a Leap Toward Becoming a Key Hub for Future Industries"

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has joined forces with five local universities to actively establish an educational system for fostering semiconductor talent among students at vocational high schools.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Seokjun) announced on the 26th that it had signed a "business agreement for establishing a system to foster semiconductor talent at vocational high schools" with five universities-Pusan National University, Pukyong National University, Dong-A University, Dong-Eui University, and Kyungnam College of Information & Technology-at the education office conference room on the afternoon of the 25th.

The signing ceremony was attended by Kim Seokjun, Superintendent of the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education; Choi Jaewon, President of Pusan National University; Bae Sanghun, President of Pukyong National University; Lee Haewoo, President of Dong-A University; Han Suhwan, President of Dong-Eui University; and Kim Taesang, President of Kyungnam College of Information & Technology. They shared their commitment to fostering semiconductor talent at the regional level.

The main points of the agreement include: cooperation on restructuring the system to foster semiconductor-specialized talent, such as converting a local vocational high school into the (tentatively named) Busan Semiconductor Meister High School; joint development and operation of customized curricula in the semiconductor field; cooperation in operating extracurricular educational programs; support for competency-building training for vocational high school teachers; and operation and support of local residency-based semiconductor talent development programs.

With this agreement, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education plans to utilize university infrastructure and resources to develop both a standard model and customized educational models for fostering semiconductor talent in secondary vocational education, and to apply these models in the field. The office also intends to establish a virtuous cycle of talent development by opening teacher training courses, operating connected curricula between middle and high schools, and building cooperative systems with industry.

Superintendent Kim Seokjun emphasized, "The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education and local universities have joined forces so that vocational high school students in Busan can grow into future talent in the semiconductor field. We will continue to build a customized talent development system so that Busan can become a key hub for the national semiconductor industry."
