Chosun University’s Career Plus Center said on November 2 that it had held its “Trip JOBcom-Korea Alps” company tour program on October 28 at Korea Alps, a leading foreign-invested mid-sized manufacturer in Gwangju, for 18 job seekers, including graduates and young people from the region.

The program was designed to help job seekers develop concrete job-search strategies by seeing the actual working environment and manufacturing facilities of a company firsthand.

The event featured a company and second-half hiring briefing, one-on-one mentoring with current employees from different job fields, and tours of the production lines and research and development (R&D) center, providing a comprehensive, hands-on look at practical work.

After learning about the company’s key new businesses and the essential skills required for each job field, participants took part in question-and-answer sessions with current employees and received firsthand advice on job skills and company culture.

In particular, they toured production lines manufacturing advanced electronic components and the R&D center, experiencing the latest manufacturing processes and research infrastructure that are difficult to encounter in a classroom. Students saw how the knowledge they had gained in their majors is applied and put into practice in the industry, helping them define their career goals more concretely.

A satisfaction survey conducted immediately after the program recorded an average score of 4.87 out of 5, indicating very high satisfaction among the young participants.

Building on the results of this tour, Chosun University’s Career Plus Center plans to expand its network of partnerships with promising local companies and broaden practical job-support programs that combine site visits with mentoring.
