With this new spring comes great news for students in regards to the opportunities DSU provides through the K-Move School, which is an overseas employment project.

On March 2, the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Human Resources Development Service of Korea announced that, in light of the outstanding success of DSU’s operation of the K-Move School so far, it would be the only university among four-year academic institutions nationwide that would be able to offer the maximum of six courses in 2020.

In particular, five of the six courses have been noted for their excellence given DSU’s wide experience and excellent results previously in those five areas. Those five courses include United States Fashion Specialist Training, U.S. Industrial Graphic Design Training, and U.S. Trade Logistics Frontier Training, all to be offered to 20 students each; Japanese IT Engineering, to be offered to 15 students; and a general training course to be held in Vietnam, also to be offered to 15 students. Add the 15 places being offered for a planned sixth course, and a total of 105 K-Move School places will be available to DSU students in the first half of 2020.

The DSU Student Employment Office will hold a briefing session in April to recruit interested students. Once selected for the K-Move School, participating students will receive intensive language and job-specific training in Korea, before leaving to be placed in jobs in companies in the countries of their respective training courses for eight months from July 2020 to February 2021. Participating students will also receive many additional benefits from DSU, including having all their Korean and overseas educational and visa-processing expenses provided for.

The K-Move School is well recognized as a systematic overseas employment path for students, and for the opportunities it provides students to obtain the practical skills needed to succeed on the global stage. As a result of its efforts, it received the Prime Minister’s Award in 2016, as well as the 2019 Youth Dream Best Practice award at a ceremony hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Dong-A Ilbo. In addition, it has received an ‘A’ grade for two consecutive years in the Overseas Employment Training Courses and Operating Institution Evaluation conducted by Korea Human Resources Development Service.
