This employment seminar, which was supervised by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, hosted by Gyeongsangbuk-do and KOTRA (Korea Trade Investment Promotion Agency) and sponsored by YU, Gyeongsan City, and the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Regional College Employment Association, was joined by a total of six foreign companies including the world's largest aluminum rolling company, Novelis Korea, Korea Delphi, ADT Caps and Taegutec from America, as well as ABB Korea and FRL Korea from Japan.
Taegutek is a subsidiary of the US IMC (International Metalworking Companies), which is one of the top 3 groups in the world for wire rope processing, is famous as a company invested by the world famous investor, Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Choi Jae-baek (36), assistant manager at the Taegutec HR Team who visited YU for this employment seminar, said, "As a foreign company in this region, we are highly interested in hiring local human resources," while adding, "I hope that many students will become interested in and apply for foreign companies through this employment seminar and consulting."
Following the employment seminar was individual employment consulting by participating companies.
1:1 consulting by HR representatives from each company was also offered to students interested in finding employment at foreign companies at the Cheonma Art Center Convention Hall from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Various information needed for landing jobs were provided to students through individual meetings with HR personnel in the foreign companies.
YU Student Capacity Development Office Director Kim Young-tak, who prepared for this event, said, "Due to the characteristics of foreign companies that select human resources normally upon need, the region's first employment seminar of foreign invested companies was a great opportunity for students to gain various employment information of foreign companies."
