Dong-A University Education Innovation Center Career Development Center Holds Career Special Lecture Using Metaverse

The Career Development Center at Dong-A University’s Institute for Educational Innovation held a special lecture on career paths utilizing the ‘Metaverse’.

On the 17th, the special lecture was live-streamed on the metaverse platform ‘moim’ and Dong-A University’s official YouTube channel, with about 70 students participating. Lecturer Park Seong-jun, CEO of the Life Resource Management Research Institute, gave a talk titled ‘ChatGPT and Changes in the Labor Market.’

As part of Dong-A University’s University Innovation Support Project, this special lecture was organized to help students understand the changing industrial environment and technological innovations brought by ‘ChatGPT,’ as well as the impact on future jobs and the labor market, and to assist them in establishing concrete strategies and goals for their career planning.

A career special lecture is currently being held on the metaverse platform 'moim'.

Following a business agreement last June between Dong-A University, Kyungsung University, and the metaverse platform specialist company Grid, Dong-A University expected this special lecture to serve as a good example of metaverse-based educational innovation.

Jin Sun-young, a student who participated in the lecture, said, “It was fascinating that beyond existing online platforms like YouTube and Zoom, students could participate in the lecture with their own avatars in the metaverse,” and added, “It was a valuable time as I could briefly experience the wave of ChatGPT and the Fourth Industrial Revolution during the lecture.”

Jo Gyu-pan, director of the Career Development Center, stated, “We will continue to expand extracurricular programs using the metaverse to share diverse career information with students.”
