On March 27th, 2024, more than 300 students from SUNY Korea, the University of Utah Asia Campus, George Mason University Korea, and Ghent University Global Campus gathered in the IGC Auditorium to hear a presentation by Hanwha Aerospace, the largest aerospace company in South Korea. The event was organized to share information about career opportunities in the increasingly vital aerospace industry.
The key point made during the presentation is that opportunities to build a career with the Hanwha Group is not limited to engineering students alone. Mechanical Engineering graduates might seem to the obvious candidates to work in these companies, but Hanwha Group is interested in majors from many backgrounds who can work in the many different divisions of their companies. The presentation focused on the benefits of working in a large company and the concerns of young people entering the marketplace, especially regarding lifetime employment and the working environment.
Hanwha was clearly interested in courting the more than 150 SUNY Korea students in attendance and building interest in this growing industry. The students were clearly excited to hear of these opportunities for their future and gained crucial information for their future job-hunting efforts.
