UIC Students Learn Various Career Pathways From Global Career Tour Korea

Junhyeong Park, NSE (AI Concentration) ‘20

“In my experience during the Global Career Tour, I found that exploring Lunit Inc. offered me a profound understanding of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with biological research. Lunit developed the AI method to predict the possibility of cancer disease. As I’m actively engaged in AI and Deep Learning (DL) research, witnessing their innovative AI methodologies was fascinating. It made me set the research vision that I should deal with integration into real life during my research.”

Yeohwan Ryou, NSE '20

“During the Global Career Tour in Korea, I visited various global companies and learned about each company’s characteristics, values, and jobs. Honestly, it is hard to meet the alumni who are working in the field. But, this GCT allowed me to communicate with them. For future participants, I recommend investigating the company, job descriptions, and the relation to your major in advance. If you participate in the tour considering what values the company pursues and your interests, you will have a more valuable experience.”

Kang Kim, LSBT & STP '21.5

“Overall, I really enjoyed the Global Career Tour. I believe it was an invaluable experience to look at different companies in Korea, as well as the science field, and to learn more about the opportunities that are available to us as UIC students. For future participants, my advice would be to learn about the companies beforehand because it makes the experience more exciting and enables you to make the most out of the experience by asking thoughtful questions to our alumni.”
