Gwangju City, Jeollanam-do, and the local education community have joined forces to nurture talents specializing within the back-end process (packaging) tailored to the ‘Gwangju-Jeonnam Semiconductor Specialized Complex’.

Chonnam National University, Gwangju, and Jeonnam announced on the twenty fifth that that they had signed the ‘Gwangju-Chonnam Semiconductor Talent Fostering Mutually Useful Cooperation Agreement’ at Chonnam National University Storyum, attended by Mayor Kang Ki-jeong, Provincial Governor Kim Young-rok, and Chonnam National University President Jeong Seong-taek.

Along with Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Chonnam National University, Sunchon National University (President Lee Byeong-un), Mokpo University (President Song Ha-cheol), Gwangju City Office of Education (Superintendent Lee Jeong-seon), and Jeonnam-do Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Dae-jung) participated.

The primary contents are ▲ establishment and utilization of semiconductor joint research institutes within the Honam region ▲ cooperation in Gwangju and Jeonnam semiconductor specialized complexes ▲ training of customized experts needed for the local semiconductor industry ▲ mutual cooperation for fostering semiconductor talents similar to operating elementary, middle and highschool teaching programs.

As a follow-up to the attraction of the Honam Region Semiconductor Joint Research Center, it’s going to be a stepping stone to guide the high-tech back-end process (packaging) field that Gwangju and Jeonnam are promoting in step with the national high-tech strategic industry policy, in addition to attracting semiconductor specialized complexes through the agreement. expect it to be

Then again, the association of universities in Gwangju and Jeonnam, similar to Chonnam National University (hosting organization), Mokpo University, and Suncheon National University, was finally chosen for the Ministry of Education’s ‘Honam Regional Semiconductor Joint Research Institute Contest Project’ on the fifteenth, and received intensive investment from the federal government (44.5 billion won from the national budget) to supply educational equipment. It’s planned to determine a semiconductor back-end process (packaging) talent training.

Jeong Seong-taek, President of Chonnam National University, said, “I’m delighted to have been chosen as a joint research institute for semiconductors within the Honam region, and to open the best way for the expansion of the local semiconductor industry through mutually useful cooperation in nurturing talent.” I’ll do it,” he said, determined.

Gwangju Mayor Kang Ki-jeong said, “The attraction of the Honam Semiconductor Joint Research Center shouldn’t be only a beneficial priming water for attracting a specialized semiconductor complex, which is the dream of residents of Gwangju and Jeonnam, but in addition a bit of the ladder for nurturing talents in artificial intelligence (AI) and high-tech industries.” It’s a place to vow to make efforts to draw semiconductor specialized complexes until the tip, and now it’s a time to make a promise to place more effort into nurturing talented people in order that nobody will say that corporations won’t come to Gwangju and Jeonnam because there is no such thing as a talent.”

Kim Yeong-rok, Governor of South Jeolla Province, said, “Fostering the semiconductor industry and nurturing human resources must go hand in hand like a cogwheel.” I’m proud,” he said.

Then again, Gwangju and Jeonnam expect that the collection of a joint semiconductor research institute will give momentum to attracting Gwangju and Jeonnam semiconductor specialized complexes.
