Additionally, the city plans to actively support students by connecting them directly with excellent local companies and institutions that are essential for specialized high school students, so that they can achieve employment before graduation.

Meanwhile, last year, the city operated Career Counseling Days 44 times, benefiting five specialized high schools and 1,410 students. Furthermore, based on mutual understanding of the necessity and practice of industry-academia cooperation, Goyang Special City joined hands with 14 institutions including the Goyang branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor and excellent companies.
