Inha University recently successfully held the 2026 Work-Learning Dual System Partner Company Coordinators Community Meeting.
This meeting was organized to establish an organic communication channel between the university and partner companies, gather voices from industrial sites, and actively reflect them in future program operation processes.
A total of 29 participating companies, including STATS ChipPAC Korea, MetaM Co., Ltd., and Taihan Optical Communication Co., Ltd., attended the event. Company coordinators as well as key personnel, including officials from the Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRDK), a partner institution of the university, took part and spent time exchanging ideas.
During the meeting, a variety of programs were conducted to support the stable settlement and substantial development of the system, including ▲ an introduction to the Work-Learning Dual System project and its future operational direction ▲ guidance on OJT (On-the-Job Training) operation and mandatory administrative requirements ▲ a special lecture on teaching methods for workplace trainers ▲ presentations and sharing of outstanding corporate cases ▲ small-group meetings for company coordinators and collection of opinions.
In particular, the special lecture on teaching methods for workplace trainers, titled “Communication with the MZ Generation,” received a highly positive response from participants. The session focused on communication methods with younger generations, an issue that has recently emerged in corporate workplaces, and presented concrete solutions to prevent learning workers from experiencing organizational maladjustment and to minimize dropout rates.
In addition, time was allocated to share and spread participating companies’ training know-how and successful cases of conversion to regular employment, providing valuable information to companies interested in newly joining the program. Companies presenting outstanding cases shared their systematic OJT systems and operational methods, while discussing practical measures that can maximize employee retention and final conversion rates to regular employment with other coordinators.
A small-group meeting for company coordinators was also conducted. Representatives from each company freely discussed difficulties and suggestions encountered at training sites, gathering field opinions to enhance the effectiveness of the program.
Kwak Hyo-beom, Director of the Inha Talent Development Institute, stated, “Thanks to the coordinators who work hard in the field, this event became a meaningful opportunity for universities and companies to explore practical cooperation measures. We will continue to actively share company-specific training know-how and provide full support so that learning workers can quickly adapt to the workplace and successfully transition to regular employment.”
