Hanyang Cyber University (President Lee Gi-jeong) announced that its Career Development Center has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the University Job Plus Center at Hanyang Women's University (President Na Se-ri) to support youth employment and entrepreneurship and establish regional governance.
The agreement, signed on June 8 at Hanyang Women's University, aims to enhance youth employment in Seongdong-gu by leveraging the unique capabilities of both institutions as the only operational hubs in the area.
The MOU emphasizes the integration of Hanyang Cyber University's remote education infrastructure and expertise with the offline resources of Hanyang Women's University's Job Plus Center.
As a result of this partnership, Hanyang Women's University will be able to utilize its established career and employment content through Hanyang Cyber University's online system, allowing local youth and students who face challenges attending in-person events to access high-quality employment support services easily.
Under the agreement, the two institutions will collaborate on various initiatives, including promoting youth employment and entrepreneurship programs, sharing and cross-utilizing existing career and employment content developed by Hanyang Women's University, jointly hosting high-cost programs such as employment consulting and job fairs, and sharing a pool of alumni instructors from diverse fields.
Jo Jun-ho, head of the University Job Plus Center at Hanyang Women's University, stated, "We will develop a model of exemplary cooperation by integrating the excellent infrastructures of both universities and provide practical employment services to students and local youth." Kim Ji-hyun, head of the Career Development Center at Hanyang Cyber University, also noted, "Through our partnership with Hanyang Women's University, we will expand employment support programs and actively assist youth in their job searches through joint initiatives."
The most significant expected outcome of this MOU is the organic combination of Hanyang Cyber University's remote education infrastructure and Hanyang Women's University's offline Job Plus Center. This will allow for the cross-utilization of high-quality career and employment content, enabling local youth and students who are balancing work and study or cannot participate in face-to-face events to easily access superior employment support services.
Additionally, the two institutions plan to jointly host and operate high-cost, high-efficiency programs like employment consulting and large-scale job fairs, which are challenging to organize individually. This collaboration is expected to maximize budget efficiency and enhance the quality of programs.
The practical cooperation of sharing a diverse pool of alumni instructors from various fields is also noteworthy. Mentoring and job training from experienced alumni active in various industries will provide practical guidelines for youth preparing for employment and entrepreneurship.
This multifaceted collaboration is anticipated to serve as a model for improving the youth employment environment in the broader Seongdong-gu community, going beyond mere exchanges between the two universities. It aims to increase the success rate of youth in employment and entrepreneurship, helping them settle in the local community and ultimately fostering promising startups and revitalizing the local economy.
Meanwhile, Hanyang Cyber University is currently recruiting new students for the second semester of the 2026 academic year. Graduate programs for master's and doctoral degrees are open for applications from May 18 to June 19, while undergraduate new and transfer students can apply from June 1 to July 16 through the university's admissions support center website.
