Ewha’s career development center held the ‘Active CDC (Career Development Center)’, offering customized career and career counseling, from September 10 (Monday) to 28 (Friday). The event was planned to advise students’ career plans and strengthen their ability to set out on their chosen career path.
The event forms part of the ‘Ewha Care Network’ created to comprehensively support students in areas including schoolwork, post-graduation employment, career management, and graduate school entry. The Career Development Center set up mobile career and job consulting centers in front of ten of Ewha’s colleges for students who were restricted for time. In addition, the center deployed career advisors and specialized research agents and offered one on one customized career consulting services for students in every year of study.
For senior students, the center offered job consulting services such as job search strategies, companies’ recruiting information, and a resume/cover letter writing clinic. Meanwhile, for students in other years of study the center offered career counseling services and advice on how to pursue careers that fit the students’ aptitudes and dispositions based on results from the Ewha CQ (Career Quotient).
The Ewha CQ was created by Ewha’s career development center to assess students’ preparedness for their desired careers; the test is a numeric measurement of students’ aptitudes spanning eight spheres: Awareness, Passion, Problem-Solving, Positive Network, Global Orientation, Social Responsibility, and Effective Communication. The resulting career quotient enables career advisors to offer customized support to develop students’ stronger areas and compensate for their weaker areas.
Yang Ok-Kyung, head of Career Development Center, said, “We have developed more convenient services in order to give students better access to career and job information.” “I expect that students can begin to develop their careers earlier during their time at Ewha if they are proactive and aware of their interests and passion after graduation.” Yang added.
