During his special lecture, Minister Kim explained youth employment policies and the direction of changes in the labor market, outlining policy directions necessary for young people to plan their careers in an evolving industrial environment. He particularly emphasized the importance of implementing policies that incorporate the voices of young people and expanding opportunities for youth to enter the labor market.

Ko Hoseok, Vice President for External Affairs, stated, "This special lecture was a meaningful opportunity to directly share youth employment policies on-site and engage with students," adding, "Kyungnam University will continue to strengthen career and employment support in line with government policies, and further expand its role as a hub university for fostering talented young people who grow together with the region."
