The Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education will provide safety and Australian culture education to 30 students participating in an internship program in Australia.

From September 15 to 16, at the Muju Taekwondowon, the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education will conduct CPR training and local life education for students from vocational high schools who are set to participate in the global field learning internship in Australia before their departure.

Since 2012, the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education has been promoting global field learning for vocational high schools in cooperation with the city of Daejeon, marking its 14th year this year. This year, through a fair selection process conducted in three stages, 30 students were chosen in four fields: culinary arts, architecture (tiling), media content, and service majors.

Since May, the selected students have received pre-employment English training and intensive language courses at specialized institutions. From September 22 to November 30, they will be dispatched to Brisbane, Australia, for a 10-week period, where they will receive language education and job training at institutions such as the National Institute of Education & Technology (NIET), followed by on-site internships in cooperation with local Australian companies.

Through this program, the aim is to facilitate smooth overseas employment and strengthen global competencies, laying the foundation for students to become global citizens.

Kim Youngjin, Director of Science and Vocational Information at the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education, stated, "We expect that the Global Field Learning Safety and Literacy Camp will enable students to participate in overseas field learning safely," adding, "As the global field learning program enhances the competitiveness of vocational high schools and gives students dreams and hope, we will continue to promote it."
