The program is designed to deepen their understanding of fields they are interested in and enhance their practical job skills.
Through this field experience, I hope students have had an opportunity to concretize their career paths and further enhance their job competencies.
During the visit to the center, located in Icheon City, Gyeonggi Province, participating students toured key facilities. They observed geostationary and non-geostationary satellite antennas and visited the operations room. A significant part of the experience involved interacting with a mobile satellite signal monitoring system vehicle and operating a spectrum analyzer, allowing them to directly engage with the technologies used in the field.
Kim Byung-il, head of SeoulTech's Career Development Center, expressed hope that the program would serve as a valuable stepping stone for students in solidifying their career paths and strengthening their professional capabilities. He added that the university plans to expand its offerings of demand-driven, field-oriented job experience programs to further support students' career planning and enhance their employment competitiveness.
