Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) and its Climate Change Response Project Team (Director Kang Yoon Hee) held the “2026 GREEN JOBS Career Camp” at Somerset Palace Seoul for two days, from Friday, October 2, to Saturday, October 3.
 
Approximately 50 current students from Kookmin University, Duksung Women’s University, Ulsan University, Inha University, and Chosun University—all participants in the HUSS Environmental Consortium—took part in the camp. They spent time exploring career paths in the climate and environmental fields and developing concrete career plans.
 
Reflecting the students’ diverse career interests, the camp was organized into four tracks: employment, entrepreneurship, further education, and global opportunities. Based on the results of the “STRONG Career Interest Test II” administered in advance, participants identified their career interest types and strengths. Through expert lectures and mentoring sessions tailored to each track, they examined entry paths and required competencies in the climate and environmental sectors.
 
The participating students formed a total of 10 teams to analyze their desired fields of entry and required competencies, and developed “Career Action Plans” outlining specific career goals and implementation strategies. During this process, they shared experiences with alumni and seniors already working in the climate and environmental sectors and refined their career plans through small-group mentoring sessions with experts.
 
Finally, a presentation session for the team-based Career Action Plans and an awards ceremony were held. Following the judging, Team 3, which presented a concrete action plan for entering the ESG and sustainable management sectors of large corporations, won the Grand Prize and received a cash prize of 1.8 million won. In addition, a total of six teams received awards, including two teams that won the Grand Prize and three teams that won the Excellence Award.
 
A student who participated in the camp shared, “Through the process of collaborating with students from other universities and completing assignments based on practical advice from seniors and detailed feedback from experts, I was able to further clarify my thoughts on a career in the climate and environmental sector.”
 
Kang Yoon Hee, Director of the Project Unit, stated, “I hope this camp served as an opportunity for students to design sustainable career paths in the climate and environmental fields based on their own strengths and values,” adding, “We will continue to provide systematic education and career support to cultivate interdisciplinary talent that will lead the future green transition.”
 
Meanwhile, as the lead institution of the HUSS Environmental Consortium, Kookmin University is promoting interdisciplinary education that breaks down barriers between universities and academic disciplines under the theme of “Coexistence and Mutual Prosperity in the Era of the Climate Crisis,” in collaboration with Duksung Women’s University, Ulsan University, Inha University, and Chosun University. The university is committed to cultivating future-oriented humanities and social sciences talent equipped with problem-solving skills and interdisciplinary thinking.
