They then took part in the "50th Anniversary KERI OPEN DAY" program at the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute, where they toured research facilities in electrical engineering and future energy that are not easily accessible in everyday life. By experiencing advanced electric technologies and research achievements, the students deepened their understanding of both industry and specific job roles.

One student who participated in the tour commented, "It was impressive to see the industrial sites I had only read about in textbooks, and it gave me a chance to think more concretely about my career path."

Jung Soongil, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, said, "I hope this field trip has helped students confirm the vision of local industries and further clarify their career goals. We will continue to expand field-oriented education in cooperation with local companies and research institutes to strengthen the foundation for local talent to settle in Changwon."

Meanwhile, the city plans to use the results of this field trip program to solidify its industry-academia cooperation model in partnership with local companies and research institutes, continuously expanding the foundation for local talent to stay and grow in Changwon.
