On-site Tour and Mentoring Sessions with Professionals for 20 High School Students

A career exploration program offering a firsthand look at the nuclear power industry, with a power plant serving as the classroom, was held for local high school students.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Kori Nuclear Power Headquarters (headed by Byeon Byeonghun) announced on August 11 that it conducted the '2026 Summer Vacation Dream Catcher Career Exploration' program for 20 high school students selected through the Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education on August 10.

This program is a career education initiative that Kori Nuclear Power Headquarters has continued since signing a 'Dream Catcher (a company that captures dreams) Career Exploration' agreement with the Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education in 2023. It was designed to offer local youth the opportunity to experience the nuclear power industry firsthand and to expand their career options.

The students were introduced to the main roles at the nuclear power plant and participated in mentoring sessions with on-site professionals. These sessions provided insights into the competencies required for actual work and the process of preparing for employment, deepening their understanding of the nuclear power industry.

The program also included industrial safety training and on-site tours of the power plant, allowing students to closely observe work environments and safety management processes that are typically hard to access.

Byeon Byeonghun, Head of Kori Nuclear Power Headquarters, said, "We hope this program has helped students develop a healthy perspective on careers and clarify their goals for the future. Kori Nuclear Power Headquarters will continue to expand customized programs that support the dreams of the local next generation and provide practical assistance in their career exploration."
