The 2025 Job-A-Dream Club Performance Report Exhibition took place on Nov. 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Gaesin Cultural Square.

  The Job-A-Dream club, established in 2021, is the university’s largest career and employment-focused organization. It aims to strengthen students’ job analysis skills and enhance their employment competitiveness. Club members form teams based on desired job sectors or companies and engage in a variety of activities tailored to their career interests.

  Lim Ji-min, a Career Team officer at the university’s Section of Career and Employment Office of Student Affairs, stated, “This year, 30 teams comprising over 600 students are participating. The office provides club activity funding, professional mentoring, academic advisor consultations, online job bootcamps, company tours, club management workshops, job analysis contests, and the performance report exhibition. Through these initiatives, participants explore career options and develop practical competencies.”

  Lim also emphasized, “One of the club’s main goals is to foster long-term employment networks by facilitating information exchange among seniors, juniors, and peers. The Job-A-Dream program enables students to comprehensively develop their job analysis skills, practical understanding, and career planning abilities. Throughout the year, they gain hands-on analytical experience and receive structured support for career preparation—including education, mentoring, and certification opportunities. Students also build a skills-based portfolio for future employment.”

  This year’s report exhibition featured 26 clubs operating activity booths, where participants showcased and presented the results of their year-long efforts to members of the university community. Kim I-heon (Dept. of Animal Science, 21), a member of the animal science job exploration club “Greemal,” said, “We hosted hands-on experiences like a dairy cow model activity and an egg-breaking challenge. The event was a great opportunity to share our achievements, encourage each other, and engage in meaningful exchange.”

  Park Chae-won (Dept. of Management Information Systems, 23), the president of the marketing job club “Spark,” commented, “Planning and running the exhibition booth felt like preparing a real brand pop-up store. It was an authentic practical experience that led to both personal growth and fulfillment.”

  The event concluded with an awards ceremony recognizing outstanding clubs, with the grand prize awarded to the marketing club, Spark. Park shared, “When Spark was announced as the winner, I felt overwhelmed with emotion, realizing our hard work had paid off. Before joining, I had only a vague idea of what marketing work involved. Through club activities and real-life experience, my perspective has broadened significantly, and I have built a strong portfolio that will greatly support my job search.”

  Meanwhile, Lim noted, “The Career and Employment Office is expanding support to ensure the sustainability of club operations and the genuine growth of our students. Starting this year, club funds are distributed according to team size, and the frequency of professional mentoring sessions has increased from once to twice annually. New initiatives include online job bootcamps, company field trips, SK coaching sessions, and club management workshops. The job analysis competition has also transitioned to an online video submission format, improving accessibility for new clubs and reducing the workload for existing ones.”

  Lim concluded, “We plan to continue expanding student-focused programs and implementing improvements to program evaluation and operational procedures. These efforts are designed to help students further develop practical job competencies and strengthen our support systems.”
