Have you ever seen a noticeable poster that catches your eye when you go around the school to eat or study? The organization that prepares posters promoting various career/job-related activities is Sangmyung University's University Employment Plus Center. The University Employment Plus Center is working hard not only at our school but also at 121 universities across the country to provide services. This is a service provided by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in the Republic of Korea for students without a high school diploma and as you can see from the service name, for university students. This service provides three large types of services. There is also a common service for all universities that mainly carry out the work done at our school's Employment Plus Center and 49 hub-type centers. The base-type center operates specialized programs that reflect industry and local characteristics such as bio-pharmaceutical marketing sales job education, artificial intelligence professional talent training courses, and job customization class management by industry. Lastly, it is an employment service tailored to students, and 53 out of 121 centers provide customized services based on counseling, allowing them to select one of the build-up projects and jump-up projects to participate. In addition, if there is a program planned and requested by graduates, we will also provide a customized service for graduates to plan and support the program through consultants.
