The Gyeongbuk Office of Education (Superintendent Lim Jong-sik) conducted a special on-site inspection for the safe operation of field training for the 2025 academic year at the Ajou Steel Gimcheon Plant in Gimcheon City on October 31.

At Ajou Steel, 14 students from seven schools-Gyeongbuk Human Tech High School, Gumi Electronics Technical High School, Silla Technical High School, Angang Electronics High School, Uiseong Unitech High School, Pohang Steel Technical High School, and Pohang Heunghae Technical High School-have been participating in field training since October 1, and will continue until December 31. After completing the training, they are expected to transition to employment.

Lim Jong-sik, Superintendent of Gyeongbuk Office of Education, is visiting the Ajou Steel Gimcheon Plant where high school students are undergoing field training to encourage the students.

During the site visit, Lim Jong-sik, Superintendent of Gyeongbuk Office of Education, met with the company’s CEO, directors, and team leaders to discuss measures for operating safe field training, expanding employment linkage, and establishing a “growth-oriented vocational education model” that leads to further education and career development.

He also met directly with the students undergoing field training and encouraged them, saying, “Field training is an important process for applying the knowledge learned at school to real industrial sites,” and added, “Above all, I hope you prioritize safety during your training.”

The Gyeongbuk Office of Education plans to continue conducting on-site inspections of major companies in the province where field training is taking place this year.

The main inspection items include whether safety education is being conducted, the assignment and supervision status of company field instructors, compliance with the standard field training agreement, and the distribution status of safety equipment.

Lim Jong-sik, Superintendent of Gyeongbuk Office of Education, stated, “We will continue to strengthen our cooperation system with local industries and promote student safety and the enhancement of field training through regular site visits and inspections. Through these efforts, we will actively support the cultivation of practical talent that meets local industry needs and ensure stable employment opportunities for students.”
