Hallym University Launches AI Career Guidance System 'Career Inbody,' Taking the First Step Toward Hyper-Personalized Support

Hallym University Completes First Phase of "Career Inbody" for the College of Information and Computer Science
Personalized Roadmaps Based on Empirical Data
Advancing the "Assessment-Preparation-Employment" Support System
Through Integration with AI In-Depth Interviews and Expansion Across All Departments

Hallym University (President Choi Yanghee) has completed the first phase of building its AI-based career guidance system, "Career Inbody," and has begun its initial application with students in the College of Information and Computer Science. This initiative is significant as it materializes the university's AI innovation vision, promoted through the Glocal University 30 project, specifically within the area of student support.

Career Inbody is a system that analyzes various aspects of a student's university life—including their major, courses taken, extracurricular activities, and career interest assessment results—using AI to recommend suitable career paths and job roles. By leveraging data accumulated within the university, which is difficult for external platforms to incorporate, the system is able to provide more precise and reliable guidance.

In particular, Career Inbody goes beyond conventional career guidance by creating a hyper-personalized environment where recommendations vary even among students with the same major, depending on their course selections and experiences. Much like a body composition analyzer that assesses one's physical condition, this system enables students to check their own career readiness and plan for the future based on data-driven insights.

The current system organically connects features such as personalized job recommendations for each student, visualization of competency profiles, tracking of job-related course completion, tailored job postings, and online counseling appointment booking. Students can use data to pinpoint where they currently stand and receive concrete guidance on which competencies they need to further develop to achieve their target roles.

Building on the results of this first phase, Hallym University plans to pursue a second-year project to further enhance the system. The service will be expanded to all departments, and by integrating with an AI-based in-depth interview system, the university aims to develop a multidimensional support system that covers everything from assessment to practical interview preparation and feedback.

Lee Younggil, Team Leader of Hallym University's Career and Employment Support Center, explained the design direction of Career Inbody, saying, "These days, students respond more sensitively to information that is tailored to them rather than simply having access to a lot of information," adding, "Ultimately, what motivates a student is not the average data, but the fit that is optimized for the individual." He further stated, "In this rapidly changing job market, the core of this system is to help students design their own paths by connecting their individual data to the latest trends through AI."

Meanwhile, through the implementation of this system, Hallym University is demonstrating that the AI innovation pursued by the Glocal University 30 project can be realized as a practical service that students experience in their daily lives, rather than just as a slogan. If the phased expansion and enhancement continue, it is expected that not only current students but also prospective students, companies, and the local community will recognize this as a tangible example of university innovation.
