Ajou's Creative University Job Center is dedicated

2015-12-03


The opening ceremony of the Creative University Job Center was held on the afternoon of December 3rd in the Video Conference Room of Ajou University's Yulgok Hall. After the ceremony, participants moved to the Center in the new Student Council Building for a tape-cutting event.


The ceremony was attended by Ajou's President Dong Yeon Kim, Gyeonggi Branch Head Yeong Soo Kim of the Central Employment and Labor Office, and Director Jai Hyoung Cho of the Creative University Job Center in addition to other related officials.


The Creative University Job Center Project, which is carried out by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, aims to help jobseekers easily access services related to finding jobs and starting businesses on the campus. Sixteen universities, including Ajou, were selected for the Project in October. They will receive an annual average of 500 million won, and the project period spans five years, with an evaluation after the first two years to decide whether the financial support will be continued. 


In his congratulatory speech at the opening ceremony, President Kim said, "Youth employment is not in a favorable condition, but this Center will do its utmost to help students and other young people in the community find jobs and start their own businesses."
