Incheon National University's English literature major job club Katinu won the grand prize for his outstanding activities

The English literature club "Catinu" won the grand prize in the 2023 major employment club program organized by the National Institute for Employment Experience Development (Director Choi Jae-hyuk).

Incheon National University's major employment club is a program operated to systematically support career employment by department (major) and job. It is a program that supports the quality of employment by expanding career search and exchange between seniors and juniors by expanding individual major and job competency through club activities.

Among a total of 39 major employment clubs in 2023, "Catinu," a club organized by students of the Department of English and Literature, received the grand prize. Through various activities such as developing a professional translation theory database (Korean-English/English-Korean), conducting special lectures on translation for high school students in Incheon Metropolitan City, developing a translation project database (academic books, speeches, fairy tales), and conducting TOEIC and language studies, the achievement of further enhancing individual and job-related competencies was achieved. 

"Despite the difficulties facing humanities, we hope that this achievement will positively affect not only English literature students but also the entire humanities university students in finding jobs related to their majors," said Chung Chae-kwan, a professor of English literature and Katynu's supervisor.

The major employment club program will continue to operate in 2024, and applications will be accepted in March.
