This program is in its first year and its management is currently being outsourced. Yeungnam University intends to take over the management of this program as it acquires more experience with it. It is the hope of the university to expand the program to include more students and more places of interest.
Nowadays, most students are sheltered and given too much tender care until they graduate from university. After graduation they go straight into the workforce.

Programs like this will make students more mature by giving them the opportunity to experience new places, people, and hardships. By facing these new challenges our talent of type Y students will gain valuable practical experience.
