Korea Polytechnics Gives Career and Technical Education Lecture to 600 Mongolian Students

Korea Polytechnics delivered career and vocational-technical education lectures to 600 Mongolian international students as part of the Mongolian Embassy’s “Let’s Live Responsibly” campaign.

The sessions were held on April 29, 2026, at an event hosted at Seoul National University’s Language Education Institute and on April 30 at Chung-Ang University. Attendance was reported as 400 and 200, respectively.

The program followed a memorandum of understanding signed by Korea Polytechnics and the Embassy of Mongolia in Korea in March. It was intended to help Mongolian students develop a more informed approach to career planning and understand Korea’s vocational and technical education system.

Under the theme “How to Choose the Right Career,” the lecture addressed common mistakes in career choice and presented a three-stage approach based on self-assessment, analysis of market and industry trends, and field experience.

The presentation also discussed the changing value of technical occupations in the artificial intelligence era and the skills that may be relevant to industrial cooperation between Korea and Mongolia. Participants were then given an overview of major Korea Polytechnics programs and possible career pathways after completion.

The lecture itself was not an admissions program and did not guarantee enrollment, employment or a change of immigration status. Prospective applicants should separately check the admission requirements, program length, language of instruction, tuition, scholarships and immigration conditions for the relevant campus and course.

Korea Polytechnics said it plans to continue cooperating with the Mongolian Embassy and to expand exchanges involving vocational and technical education.
