Doosan Yonkang Foundation is establishing the ‘Doosan Yonkang Technical Talent High School Scholarship’ and promoting support projects to foster future technical talents who will contribute to the development of the Korean industry.

On the 12th, Doosan Yonkang Foundation announced that it signed a business agreement with the National Meister High School Principals’ Association at the Incheon Electronics Meister High School Dream Center to support technical talent high school scholarships. Meister High Schools are special purpose high schools that operate a curriculum tailored to industrial demand, and 54 schools nationwide are currently designated and operating.

Through this agreement, Doosan Yonkang Foundation will select two excellent students per school each year from 18 high schools nationwide, including Meister High Schools in the fields of semiconductors, nuclear power, energy, robots, and machinery. The selected scholarship students will be provided with a scholarship of 2 million won per person per year until graduation, up to a maximum of 6 million won. The National Meister High School Principals’ Association will support administrative tasks such as information exchange between institutions and promotion of scholarship programs.

In addition, Doosan Yonkang Foundation plans to produce employment stories of scholarship students who have secured employment and provide them to the relevant high schools and junior scholarship students. Through this, it is expected that the ‘Doosan Yonkang Technical Talent High School Scholarship’ will play a positive role in activating the employment ecosystem in various industrial fields.

Park Yong-hyun, Chairman of Doosan Yonkang Foundation, said, “We will support the students selected as scholarship students this time so that they can become technical talents who will lead the industrial development of the Republic of Korea in the future.”
