Chonnam National University has launched a practical employment camp that integrates industrial site visits, AI-based job training, and mock interviews to strengthen the real-world competencies of students preparing for employment at large corporations.

According to Chonnam National University on March 17, the RISE Project Group at Chonnam National University operated the "2025 Winter Corporate Exploration Linked Employment Camp" from February 4 to 6, over three days at the POSCO Pohang headquarters and surrounding areas, to enhance the employment competitiveness of enrolled students.

This camp was designed to provide students preparing for employment at large corporations with both hands-on experience in industrial workplaces and practical job preparation opportunities. In particular, the program offered a job-focused curriculum that linked company tours with training in cover letter writing, interview preparation, and mock interviews, covering the entire job application process.

On the first day of the camp, a "company-tailored cover letter writing session" was held based on an analysis of POSCO's recruitment trends. Participating students used AI prompts to systematically organize their job competencies and took part in practical exercises to write their cover letters, thereby strengthening their actual job preparation skills.

On the second day, students toured POSCO’s work sites in person to gain an understanding of industrial structures and corporate culture. This was followed by interview speech training using the "STAR technique," where students practiced effectively conveying their experiences and strengths.

On the final day, a "many-to-many mock interview" was conducted with external evaluators participating. The mock interview, held in an environment similar to a real interview, along with individualized feedback from experts, helped the students improve their practical interview skills.

Lee Yoonseong, Head of the RISE Project Group at Chonnam National University, said, "This camp is a practical program that supports the entire job preparation process, from document preparation to interviews, going beyond simple company tours. It is meaningful in that it boosts students’ confidence in finding employment," adding, "We will continue to expand corporate employment support programs linked to industrial sites in the future."
