In line with these changes, LG Uplus separately invited master's and doctoral students in key technology fields. The background for this invitation is tied to changes in telecom business. LG Uplus aimed to present real technology challenges to university research talent, secure contact with the latest research trends in university labs, and create opportunities to connect with talent.
The event featured technology presentations by LG Uplus, along with a panel talk on organizational culture and a networking program. Attendees asked current employees about their work, the capabilities required to perform their roles, and career development paths.
The event combined technology sessions, job-related programs, and organizational culture programs, expanding the scope of industry-academia exchange events centered on sharing research content. Through this, it enabled potential technical talent to check the company's work methods and R&D environment.
The master's and doctoral students in attendance were able to see the actual work-related technical challenges and problem-solving processes of employees on the job. For other attendees as well, it served as an opportunity to understand the company's R&D environment and technical roles.
