[June 4, 2021]
YU (President CHOI Oe-chool) recorded 7 students passing the ‘2021 National Position Local Human Resources Grade 7 Apprenticeship Examination.’ This is the highest number among universities in the Gyeongbuk region.
The Ministry of Personnel Management recently announced the final list of 160 passers (100 administrative, 60 technical) of the ‘2021 National Position Local Human Resources Grade 7 Apprenticeship Examination.’ Among them, a total of seven with five in administrative positions and two in technical positions were from YU. In the administrative positions they are Bae Eun-ho (25, School of International Economics and Business, graduated), Choi Yeon-soo (25, Department of Public Administration, graduated), Park Da-woon (24, Department of English Language Education, graduated), Bae Hyo-jin (24, Department of History, graduated) and Yoon Ae-jin (22, Department of Public Administration, graduated), and in the technical positions, they are Ryu Tae-moon (26) and Lee Yoo-jeong (24, both graduated from the Department of Statistics).
There were also seven last year who graduated from YU for a total of 28 in the past 5 years, showing that it has the nation’s highest competitiveness in the local human resource grade 7 apprenticeship examination. This was the result of setting up an exclusive department (University Jobs Center) by the university to provide systematic and assertive support. YU takes care of students throughout the entire process ranging from university recommendation to written tests and interviews.
Miss Choi Yeon-soo, who graduated in February, commented, “I applied for and prepared for the National Position Local Human Resources Grade 7 Apprenticeship Examination program supported by YU early on. It was difficult to find a place to study with other students preparing for the test last year due to COVID-19, but the school provided a study room, so I was able to study and prepare for the exam with other students. In particular, the PSAT that the school administered continuously was especially helpful. If you are preparing to become a public employee, I would strongly recommend participating in programs offered by the university.”
Every year, YU gathers students preparing for the ‘National Position Local Human Resources Grade 7 Apprenticeship Examination’ to come up with lesson plans to prepare for written tests, etc., while also assigning advisers to provide individual guidance. Furthermore, the University Jobs Center provides mock tests and study groups to prepare for the written test, while also assisting students to prepare for interviews through meetings with seniors who passed the test in the past.
YU University Jobs Creation Center Director Jung Jin-young said, “In preparation for the ‘National Position Local Human Resources Grade 7 Apprenticeship Examination’ the university provides systematic support for all processes from the recruiting stage to public position aptitude tests, interviews, and all the way to the final passing, and has been quite successful every year,” and further added, “The University Jobs Center also operates various customized employment and career guidance programs such as for general companies and public institutes aside from public employee positions. We will provide full support so that students can find career paths according to their aptitudes, and so that they can get hired by places they want.”
The 'National Position Local Human Resources Grade 7 Apprenticeship Examination’ was implemented in 2005 for balanced employment of local personnel and to strengthen regional representativeness in public positions. Students or graduates that meet certain criteria and are recommended by the university president are selected through a written test administered by the Ministry of Personnel Management (PSAT) and then complete document review and interviews. Those who pass this year will be admitted to the National Human Resources Development Institute in the first half of next year where they will receive basic education on adapting to public service and to enhance work capacities, and then they will begin their apprenticeships at the respective central administrative institutes. The apprenticeship last for about 1 year and once they complete it, they will be hired as full-time public employees through evaluations on their work execution.
