In Korea, due to concentration in the metropolitan area, it is common for graduates to find jobs outside of the area where the university is located.

A local private university has announced a plan to nurture talent that will remain in the region through education linked to future key industries.

The key is to lead to strong cooperation by breaking down boundaries between regions, industries, and universities.

Gwangju Metropolitan City, which entered its 8th popular election, is focusing on fostering the future automobile and high-tech semiconductor industry.

However, it is not easy to find talent to work in new future industries in the region.

[정지성 / 자율주행 관련 업체 대표 : 우수 인재들이 서울에 있는, 경기 수도권 기업들로 많이 가다 보니까 역설적으로 저희가 수도권에 있는 광주 지역 출신의 직원들을 다시 이직 제안을 해서 데려오고 있는 되게 이상한 상황이 있거든요.]

Local private universities, local governments, research institutes, and industries have joined hands to nurture talented individuals who will remain in the region and lead future industries.

First, the university plans to establish a department of ‘Future Mobility’, a regional strategic industry.

In addition, education and research facilities will be upgraded, and experiments and practice will be conducted using facilities such as the Bitgreen Industrial Complex.

Above all, the key is for regions, industries, and universities to cooperate by eliminating barriers and barriers.

The goal is to encourage talented individuals trained through this to naturally advance into local industries and research fields.

[민영돈 / 조선대학교 총장 : 이제 대학의 성장이 그 지역의 혁신과 발전에 가장 중요한 요소가 되고 있습니다. 4차 산업혁명의 첨단 기술과 지역 전략산업을 활성화하는 데 필요한 모든 조건을 대학이 가지고 있기 때문입니다.]

Educational innovation closely aligned with local strategic industries and close cooperation with the local community are expected to be of great help in increasing the competitiveness of local universities, which are in crisis due to a decline in the school-age population.
