YU’s excellent employment/start-up support capacities were once again proven.
YU was assessed as ‘excellent university’ in the ‘2015 Youth Dream College’ evaluations conducted by Donga Ilbo and Channel A together with Deloitte Consulting. The Youth Dream College, which is in its third year this year, assesses how efficiently and assertively upper-ranked colleges with excellent education conditions provide support for student employment and start-ups. The Youth Dream College was selected based on the satisfaction level of students and college infrastructure for 52 four-year universities in the five areas of ▲counseling support ▲information support ▲opportunity support ▲curriculum ▲start-up support.
YU was selected as a ‘Youth Dream College’ last year and received an upgraded assessment to ‘Excellent Youth Dream College’ this year and, thus became a ‘Youth Dream College’ for two consecutive years. When excluding employment rates and assessing only the university’s employment/start-up support capacities, YU was found to be in the top ten nationwide.
YU’s assertive employment support that is systematically carried out from the freshmen and sophomore grades stands out the most.
YU established a career development program (Career Road Map, ‘CRM’) for students to set their goals upon enrollment and to systematically design their college life. In order to make it possible to continuously set career paths and develop experiences from the freshman to senior year, it operates a program based on CRM that encompasses not only general education and major education, but also extracurricular education courses. Furthermore, in order to identify the salary and employment region desired by students, as well as their aptitudes, students are required to answer each item in this school’s unique CRM from their freshman year. When adding career experience and qualification certificates every school year, it matches these to suggest even exact company names. The employment consultants provide counseling based on these concrete consulting materials.

YU’s distinguished start-up education was judged to be a successful model for the activation of student start-ups. Step-by-step start-up education programs are offered according to the level of users to strengthen the start-up capacities of students. Various start-up education courses are provided to help students become interested in starting up businesses and eventually actually starting their own venture. In particular, the number of start-up clubs increased four-fold in the past three years. The 14 clubs in 2012 increased to 61 last year. The start-up club is very encouraging in that it helps students come up with their own ideas and actively prepare to start their own business.
YU Employment Support Team Director Kwon Oh-sang said, “We have developed and are operating various career management programs and capacity strengthening programs in various departments in our university to help student successfully take their first step into society,” and added, “If students show more interest in such programs and utilize them, their college life will be very fulfilling.”
