 In a collaborative effort to cultivate talent in the defense industry, a key sector in the region, YU(President CHOI Oe-chool) and Gyeongsangbuk-do partnered with LIG Nexone, a leading defense company, to host the 2024 Defense Industry Job Camp.


 The training, which was held at the Gyowon Dream Center in Gyeongju from August 21 to 23, was attended by 67 students from YU. The camp featured numerous LIG Nexone professionals as instructors, who delivered lectures on the defense industry and conducted job-specific competency training. During the camp, LIG Nexone employees also mentored students, providing valuable insights into recruitment, job roles, and daily corporate life. On the final day, a talk session with the company's HR team allowed students to engage in a Q&A about job functions, desired candidate qualities, and workplace culture.


JEONG Jin-uk (4th-year, Department of Mechanical Engineering at YU) shared his experience: “It was a beneficial opportunity to learn practical knowledge that's hard to gain through regular coursework.  Understanding the defense industry and receiving detailed job training have helped me consider my future career path after graduation. The knowledge gained during this camp will also be a strong asset in writing resumes or preparing for interviews.”


LIG Nexone's Vice President, LEE Geon-hyuk, who delivered a special lecture on the future of the defense industry, stated, "I commend the students for their enthusiasm in learning about the defense industry, a field not easily accessible in a university setting. I hope this camp helps students gain valuable knowledge about the industry and LIG Nexone, and serves as a useful resource in exploring their career paths."


JEON In, Director of Career Services at YU and Head of the University Job Plus Center, who coordinated the camp, commented, “This camp is a collaborative educational program designed to introduce the defense industry and provide job-specific training. YU will continue to support students in strengthening their employment competencies by developing various industry-university cooperative education programs and job-related training initiatives tailored to the needs of companies.
