On June 16th, 2024, in SUNY Korea's CDC office, I had the privilege of sitting down with Sunghyun Sean Lee, professor and team leader of Career Development Center (CDC), to uncover the essence of the Career Development Center and its pivotal role in shaping student careers.
The CDC serves as a guide for students’ next chapter in life, offering tailored support in internships, job placements, and postgraduate paths aligned with their majors. It helps connect students with diverse opportunities—from webtoon and beauty companies to AI firms and international corporations—making summer internships readily accessible.
According to Professor Sean Lee, preparation is key for securing a CDC’s summer internship programs. Fluency in both Korean and English, along with thorough interview readiness, is essential because the summer internship programs fill-up quickly. There have been many cases of successful outcomes from past students' internship experiences, as they were able to learn through real-world experiences that led to promising careers.
What sets apart a CDC summer internship? Beyond gaining hands-on experience in their field, students acquire practical skills and the chance to earn income, enriching their academic journey with invaluable workplace insights.
Why pursue a CDC summer internship? Internships show employers that students are prepared and reliable. They help students learn life skills and develop a strong work ethic during summer breaks.
Looking ahead, SUNY Korea's Career Development Center remains committed to empowering students with the tools needed to thrive in today's competitive job market. With diverse internship and volunteer opportunities, the CDC continues to shape the career path for SUNY Korea's students. These summer internship programs provided by CDC will not only offer you a diverse experience, but will also set a path for your future success.
