Kookmin University’s (President Jeong Seung Ryul) University Job Plus Center held the “2026-2 Public Enterprise NCS Introductory Seminar” on September 22 and 29 for students interested in employment at public institutions.
 
This special lecture series was organized to provide current students and alumni with information on NCS (National Competency Standards)-based recruitment procedures and the specific hiring characteristics of various public institutions, as well as to support systematic job preparation. The sessions were conducted live online, and for students unable to attend the live sessions, recorded lectures were made available via e-Campus from October 1 to 7.
 
The lecture was led by Kim Sejune, an adjunct professor at Kookmin University who serves as a question writer for public institution NCS written exams and as a document and interview evaluator. Professor Kim explained the characteristics of NCS-based recruitment, the “OnSpec” hiring method—which focuses on evaluating job-related competencies—and the specific recruitment characteristics of different types of institutions, including public enterprises, quasi-governmental agencies, and other public institutions. He also provided guidance on everything from writing job applications to preparing for written exams and interviews, as well as key changes to the NCS Basic Occupational Competencies, which are scheduled to be revised, and addressed students’ questions through a live Q&A session.
 
A total of 94 students completed this special lecture series; by academic year, seniors (34.0%) and juniors (30.8%) accounted for approximately 65% of the total. The program’s satisfaction rating averaged 4.8 out of 5, receiving high marks across all categories, including educational content, duration, instructors, and willingness to recommend the program.
 
Participating students shared their feedback, saying, “I knew nothing about NCS, but this special lecture helped me make a plan for what to do next,” and “I liked that it was an interactive online class where I could ask questions directly to an expert and follow along in real time on the website.”
 
Meanwhile, Kookmin University’s University Job Plus Center, which operates with support from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, plans to continue offering tailored programs that reflect the needs of students seeking employment in public institutions to help strengthen their job-seeking capabilities.
