Career Education & Development

At KUAS, career-oriented education is designed to develop both foundational knowledge and practical skills, enabling students to contribute effectively in the workplace from an early stage of their careers.
Through career-focused courses such as Career Design, students examine the role of work in an aging society while building the mindset needed to take ownership of their career paths. They also gain an understanding of social systems and industries to prepare for the job search process.
Throughout their studies, students systematically strengthen their academic expertise and professional skills with a clear focus on their future careers.

KUAS internship programs provide students with valuable opportunities to experience the workplace and gain insight into the skills and qualities demanded by today’s society. Through hands-on learning, students deepen their understanding of work while broadening their career perspectives and enriching their academic experience. KUAS offers two types of internship programs: universitywide internships coordinated by the Career Development Center and open to all students, and department-based internships tailored to specific fields of study. In partnership with a wide range of domestic and international companies, KUAS provides diverse internship opportunities. Students can apply to companies related to their interests and gain real-world business experience through internships lasting from two weeks to one month during the summer break.^* Prior to the internship, students attend preparatory sessions that include company and industry research, as well as training in professional etiquette. After completing the internship, students take part in follow-up sessions where they reflect on their experiences, share insights, and present their learning and future goals in a final presentation.

*Capacity is limited, and participants are selected through a screening process.
