The Department of Visual Communication Design at Gwangju University announced on September 4 that it held the "2025 Culture and Arts Content Employment and Start-up Fair" on September 2.

This fair was organized to share the current state and future of the content industry, and to help students strengthen their practical career preparation and entrepreneurial capabilities. It featured three main programs: corporate consulting, start-up support consulting, and specialized education with guidance on government-supported courses.

For the corporate consulting program, Oasis Studio provided consultations on visual effects (VFX) collaboration cases and platform utilization strategies for video content production. Witches offered guidance on industrial applications and field suitability based on their experience with AR/VR-based content and UI/UX design projects. GenieSoft consulted on the competencies required for next-generation immersive content development and strategies for career preparation. The Dong-gu District Office Startup Incubation Center provided information on start-up procedures, government support systems, impact start-up consulting, and residency support programs.

In addition, for specialized education and government-supported courses, the International Regional Professional School and Career Center introduced hands-on training programs such as the GCC Academy course, UI/UX, and 3D design through consultation sessions. Through this fair, students are expected to gain various opportunities, including acquiring up-to-date trends and career visions in the content industry, linking design skills with employment and start-up opportunities, preparing for employment through corporate networking, and expanding exchanges with domestic and international experts.

Park Sunghyun, head of the department, said, "As a career and start-up platform based on industry-academia collaboration, I hope this event allowed students to communicate directly with professionals in the field and explore future possibilities." He added, "We will continue to strengthen our expertise and establish a foundation for connecting with the local industry."
