  • Kyung Hee Cyber University's Hotel Management department launched a customized career program in partnership with Hotel In Network to support students' employment and career advancement in the hotel and service industry.
  • The program offers comprehensive support, including career lectures, one-on-one consulting, resume writing, and interview preparation, tailored to individual student needs and career goals.
  • The initiative has already shown early success with a student securing a position at 'Four Points by Sheraton Seoul,' demonstrating the program's effectiveness in connecting education with industry demands.

Kyung Hee Cyber University's Hotel Management department is actively supporting its students' career aspirations through a newly launched, customized employment program. In collaboration with Hotel In Network, the department aims to provide systematic assistance for students seeking jobs or career changes within the hotel and service sector.

The program goes beyond one-off career lectures, functioning as a mid-to-long-term career project. It considers each student's capabilities, goals, career path, strengths, and desired roles. The process begins with online lectures on industry hiring trends, job strategies, and desired candidate profiles. This is followed by multiple one-on-one consulting sessions.

The core of this program is to equip students with fundamental competencies for the hotel and service industry through our curriculum and help them refine their job strategies with personalized support from Hotel In Network.

During these consultations, students receive detailed analysis of their strengths and weaknesses. They learn to effectively write resumes and cover letters, prepare for interviews, and develop strategies for specific companies. A key feature of the program is its close, step-by-step support throughout the entire job-seeking process, tailored to individual goals and company requirements, rather than just providing job information.

Successful employment and career changes require more than just job information. Analyzing a student's career, strengths, and the competencies required by their target company, and systematically preparing resumes and interview strategies, led to this quick employment outcome.

โ€” Lee Jung-hanCEO of Hotel In Network, commenting on the program's success factors.

This initiative has already yielded tangible results, with a student from the 2026 first-semester cohort securing a position at 'Four Points by Sheraton Seoul' after completing the program's components. This early success highlights the program's practical effectiveness. The department attributes this achievement to the synergy between its systematic curriculum and Hotel In Network's industry-focused support.

Lee Eun-yong, head of the Hotel Management department, stated, "The core of this program is to equip students with fundamental competencies for the hotel and service industry through our curriculum and help them refine their job strategies with personalized support from Hotel In Network." Lee Jung-han, CEO of Hotel In Network, added, "Successful employment and career changes require more than just job information. Analyzing a student's career, strengths, and the competencies required by their target company, and systematically preparing resumes and interview strategies, led to this quick employment outcome."

When preparing alone, I was unsure about what to improve, but through the career lectures and individual consultations, I was able to systematically prepare for my weaknesses. I gained confidence through practical advice and was able to get hired at Four Points by Sheraton Seoul, which was my goal.
