Graduate School of Public Administration Hosts Convocation Ceremony
for Gateway to Korea Advanced Executive Program
 
-Program Exclusively for Japanese Expatriates
 
 
 
 
On December 21, 2016, Yonsei’s Graduate School of Public Administration held the inaugural convocation ceremony for the Gateway to Korea Advanced Executive Program, which is designed exclusively for Japanese expatriates residing in South Korea.
 
Launched in September, the program focuses on Korean politics, economics, society, and culture in order to enhance management strategies for Japanese companies operating in this country. In all, twenty Japanese students from eighteen different Japanese companies, including the Mitsui Group and Mitsubishi Corporation, enrolled in and successfully completed the program, which lasted thirteen weeks.
 
As part of the graduation ceremony, a “Networking Party” took place, in which experts from various fields were invited to both facilitate business opportunities and create greater understanding of the relationship between South Korea and Japan. The Graduate School of Public Administration believes that this program will play a positive role in terms of improving public diplomacy and strengthening ties between the two countries.
 
Team leader Tae-jin Um of the Graduate School of Public Administration said: “There are currently more than 700 Japanese companies doing business in South Korea and more than 100,000 Japanese expatriates and their families residing in South Korea. I hope that the successful launch of Yonsei’s Gateway to Korea Advanced Executive Program will continue to provide opportunities for Japanese expatriates and positively contribute to South Korea-Japan relations.”
