The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced on March 5 that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for cooperation in linking foreign students' field training and employment with the Seoyeong University International Education Institute.

This agreement, which was signed at the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry conference room on the same day, was established to strengthen the foundation for foreign students to settle in the local community and to expand practical connections with industrial sites. The Seoyeong University International Education Institute will be responsible for providing education and competency development for international students, while the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry plans to use its member company network to support field training, internships, and employment matching, thereby building a cooperative foundation that enables both international students and local businesses to grow together.

Through this agreement, the two institutions plan to jointly promote: ▲ operating programs to foster foreign student talent in collaboration with local industries, ▲ providing field training, internships, and employment matching for understanding corporate culture and job roles, ▲ offering and supporting employment information connections between students by major and member companies, and ▲ establishing a cooperative system for mutual development.

Chae Hwaseok, Executive Vice President of the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry, stated in his greeting, "International students are an important human resource that can grow within the region," adding, "Through cooperation with member companies, we will help foreign students gain practical experience and settle stably in the local community."

In response, Joo Seungwan, Director of the Seoyeong University International Education Institute, said, "We will further strengthen field-oriented education and employment matching so that international students can grow as members of the local community," and added, "Through cooperation with the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry, we will establish an exemplary industry-academia cooperation model in which both students and companies can grow together."

The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry plans to use this agreement as an opportunity to expand cooperation with the Seoyeong University International Education Institute and to make active efforts to nurture the global talent needed by local industries and to vitalize employment matching for international students.
