In December of last year, 63 vocational high school students were pre-selected through this project. This year, eight participating companies—including Jawha Electronics Co., Ltd., Ajin Industrial Co., Ltd., Samyang Comtech Co., Ltd., Seah Mechanics Co., Ltd., Sewon ENI Co., Ltd., Geumchang Co., Ltd., Hanjung NCS Co., Ltd., and Siemens Healthineers Co., Ltd.—plan to hire an additional 59 students.

At this briefing session, the participating companies will provide information on their recruitment plans, job descriptions, company cultures, and working environments. The event is organized to allow students to directly access employment information from outstanding local companies and to develop concrete career plans.

After the briefing session, the Gyeongbuk Office of Education will accept job applications, carry out company-specific selection processes, and select prospective hires. For the selected students, the office plans to offer tailored employment competency enhancement programs, including support for obtaining certifications, employment interview camps, company field visits, and job training courses linked to recruitment.

Through these efforts, the aim is to improve students' on-site adaptability and practical skills, systematically foster the technical talent required by local industries, and expand the foundation for regionally-rooted employment opportunities.

Ryu Shikyung, Director of the Division of Creative Talent at the Gyeongbuk Office of Education, stated, "This recruitment briefing session was a meaningful opportunity for vocational high school students to understand outstanding local companies and broaden their early employment opportunities," adding, "We will continue to actively support the development of customized technical talent needed by companies and help students settle stably in the Gyeongbuk region."
