On March 4 and 5, the orientation for SES (Summer Experience in Society) were held. In the beginning of the orientation, the Director of the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs Kim Sang-uk, gave a brief introduction about the SES program. He explained that the program was established to enable POSTECH students to gain some valuable experience outside the university and gain not only work skills but also social-emotional skills , which is also SES.
Afterwards, the Head of the Student Affairs, Kim Jung-ki, explained the details about the SES program. The companies that are interested in having POSTECH students as their interns apply for the program. Then students choose as many as five companies from the list of companies and apply for a match. If a match is successful, the company then interviews the student (the interview can include a coding test depending on the company). If everything goes well and the student is accepted, the student completes the internship over the summer and sends a report about the experience for credits.
