   In the ‘With Corona’ age, untact has become the mainstream for employment support programs of college students as well.

 

  The online employment support program that YU (President Sur Gil-soo) began newly this year, which has been very popular among students preparing to find jobs. The ‘online mentoring program’ implemented by YU in September is already very popular. The participation rate is not only high among students preparing to find jobs, but also among seniors participating as mentors. Approximately 140 alumni with corporate jobs registered in just two weeks since implementing the program.

 

  Students can check the companies, duties and career information of seniors registered as mentors, and also participate in the online 1:1 mentoring program. Online Q&A are available with seniors hired at corporations or it is possible to make a mentoring appointment for real-time online consulting. Hiring trends of companies have been quickly shifting to job-centered hiring, so the most up-to-date information from current professionals is expected to help with students in their search for employment.

About 500 students participated in this three-day event and when including the event held in May, over 1,000 students took part in this year’s Employment Senior Tacit Knowledge event.
