Korea University of Technology and Education Guarantees Employment Upon Admission with New 'Chungnam-style Contract Department'
Korea University of Technology and Education announced that it will operate a 'Chungnam-style contract department' in cooperation with Chungcheongnam-do to directly support students' employment. This system is designed to help young people enter society stably by ensuring employment after graduation the moment they are admitted to the university.
The contract department is an educational program where universities and companies sign agreements to cultivate customized talent needed by the companies. Since students can be hired directly by the relevant companies after completing their studies, it is receiving significant attention amidst the recent severe employment crisis.
This program is expected to play a major role in preventing the outflow of excellent local talent and enhancing the competitiveness of local industries. The university plans to support students in acquiring the skills necessary to be immediately deployed in the field through practical, hands-on education.
Meanwhile, in addition to operating this contract department, Korea University of Technology and Education is also striving to improve the educational environment, such as by recruiting faculty members in related fields. Detailed recruitment guidelines and application methods can be found on the university's official website.
This Chungnam-style contract department is expected to become a new model that connects education and employment as one. We hope that such industry-academic cooperation cases will continue to increase, providing practical help to more students.
