Kangwon National University announced Thursday it will create an internship program for its international students in partnership with the local government and a Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water) branch.

The university signed a memorandum of understanding with Chuncheon, Gangwon, and the K-water Soyanggang Dam Office to jointly run an internship program for international students between September and November.

Four Chuncheon-based companies will participate and plan to hire around 10 interns, whose minimum wage salaries will be government-funded. After the internship ends, students will go through performance evaluation, with select students offered full-time job offers.

"The partnership is a meaningful initiative that will provide practical employment opportunities to international students and match local industries with employees they need," said Jeong Jae-yeon, president of Kangwon National University. "We will continue to offer support to international students so they can pursue their studies, settle down in the region and grow into global talent."
