YU President Noh Seok-kyun is working hard to support employment of students and to strengthen industry-academic cooperation.
YU President Noh Seok-kyun held a meeting by inviting CEOs of outstanding companies in the region at the Saint Western Hotel of Daegu on the 15th. The goal is to construct an industry-academic cooperative system for the mutual development of the university and companies. This was planned to expand the understanding on fostering human resources and industry-academic cooperation between universities and companies, and for universities to understand the human resource fostering and industry-academic cooperation method required by companies, and to reflect them in the major policies of the university in the future.
YU is planning to pursue practical industry-academic programs such as fostering excellent human resources, promoting employment, internship programs, and constructing industry-academic clusters by industry through the continuous networking with regional small and medium sized companies.
At this meeting were present YU President Noh Seok-kyun, Student Capacity Development Office Director Kim Young-tak, Industry-academy Cooperation Team Director Park Jin-ho, and Corporate Support Center Director Kim Seung-cheol, as well as CEOs from 10 outstanding small and medium sized companies of the region such as Kim Gyeong-jae of Nicca Korea, Choi Woo-seok of Daesung Hitech, Hong Byung-jin of Data Bank Systems, Lee Jung-ho of Seshin Precision, Kim Gwang-hyeon of Avaco, Park Myeong-seob of Avatec, Kim Chang-ho of Ajin Xtek, Kang Young-cheol of SSLM, Choo Gyo-hwan of Wini Tech, and Lee Young-jin of Taeyang Electronics.
Daesung Hitech CEO Choi Woo-gak said, “It is important, but difficult to procure outstanding human resources for small and medium sized companies,” adding, “It would be great if universities and companies could continuously cooperate to work together to foster excellent human resources.” Nicca Korea CEO Kim Gyeong-jae said, “We are always in need of master’s or PhD-level researchers with expertise. I hope that the university will show a lot of interest in this and work hard to foster specialized researchers.” Likewise, the CEOs of participating companies all stated that the role of the university to foster human resources with expertise in various fields is crucial.
In response, Mr. Noh said, “I feel a great sense of responsibility as the head of an educational institute receiving such requests for fostering specialized human resources from you.” He added, “I hope that you continuously give us feedback for the role of our university and areas in need by companies in the future. Our university will listen closely to the voices of companies and work hard to cooperate actively.”
YU signed MOUs with several companies that attended this meeting and is operating field education courses. YU is planning to expand industry-academic cooperation in various sectors such as employment-linked long-term field work, retraining of current employees, and industry-academic research for college technical support.
Meanwhile, a special lecture was held by YU Professor of International Commerce Sohn Sang-bum under the theme ‘Response Strategies of Korean Companies to Enter the Chinese Market’, and received great responses from the attending CEOs.
