This program is designed to enhance students' understanding of majors and academic departments through actual university campus visits and mentoring by current students, enabling them to independently plan their own career directions.

On May 16, the city organized a tour of Seoul National University, which attracted a high level of interest with a total of 113 students participating. The participants had the opportunity to gain practical information about campus life and study methods through campus tours and conversations with student mentors.

Yangju City also plans to sequentially operate tours of other major universities in Korea, including Kyung Hee University on May 23 and Korea University on May 30.

This year, the program has been further strengthened as a student-participatory career exploration initiative by newly introducing several features: special lectures by university student startup CEOs, a battle program for major introductions, and academic department mentoring sessions.

The 'Special Lecture by University Student Startup CEOs' is a program in which student entrepreneurs directly share their startup experiences and journeys of career challenge, aiming to provide students with new perspectives and a spirit of challenge regarding their future careers.

The 'Battle Program for Major Introductions' allows university student mentors to introduce and explain their respective majors and departments directly. This enables students to compare the characteristics and career paths of various majors, helping them to more concretely design their own suitable career plans.

An official from Yangju City stated, "Last year's campus tour received great feedback from both students and parents, so this year we plan to further strengthen the functions of career and major exploration. We hope that the newly established programs this year will provide students with the opportunity to proactively design their own futures."
