In a survey conducted in March by the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education and the Busan Employment Welfare Plus Center, targeting 22 specialized high schools in Busan, Donga University was selected by 14 schools, recording the highest preference as the university from which they wished to receive career and employment support.

Accordingly, the University Job Plus Center formed a dedicated team for career and employment support for these high school students and, starting with Sejeong High School in May, carried out a total of 25 support programs for approximately 2,400 students from 14 high schools-including Daejin Electronics and Telecommunications High School, Busanjin Girls’ Commercial High School, and Busan Mechanical Technical High School-through November.

The programs included on-site special lectures at high schools, personalized counseling (covering self-introduction and resume review), and company tours. They also featured special lectures by field experts tailored to the needs of each school (such as barista practice) and NCS basic vocational competency lectures (preparing for public enterprise employment).

One participating student shared, “Receiving career and employment lectures and expert counseling directly at school gave me confidence, and I am determined to get a job at my desired company.”

Donga University also invited specialized high school students to the university to facilitate direct communication with company representatives and hosted a corporate job fair with the participation of 50 companies and organizations.

The head of student affairs at a specialized high school in Busan commented, “It is rare to have the opportunity to meet key company representatives in person, so I am very satisfied to have gained real recruitment information through this event.”

Shin Yongtaek, head of the University Job Plus Center, stated, “It is an important responsibility for the university to support youth career exploration in partnership with the local community,” and added, “We will continue to expand career and employment education programs for specialized high schools in cooperation with the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, the Busan Employment Welfare Plus Center, and local governments.”
