Three from GTEP (Glocal Trade Expert Incubating Program) Team - Production of extraordinarily many successful candidates Dreamed customs officer with GTEP Team activities supported by the government Fruit of support such as special lectures on trade theory and practice during vacation, mentoring by senior alumni of incumbent customs officers [November 11, 2022] <YU alumni who passed 2022 39th Customs Officer Exam (From the left, KO Beom-seok, LEE Hyuk, HWANG Soo-yeong, and SHIN Ho-yeong)> YU(President CHOI Oe-chool) produced five successful candidates of 2022 39th Customs Officer Exam. Customs officer exam is the most difficult in foreign trade related license exams. Graduates of YU who put their names in successful candidate lists were CHO Bo-seong (35, graduate from Department of International Trade), KO Beom-seok (29, graduate from Department of Trade), SHIN Ho-yeong (28, graduate from Department of International Trade), LEE Hyuk (26, graduat from Department of English Language and Literature), and HWANG Soo-yeong (26, Graduate from Department of International Trade). Especially, three of them, i.e. KO Beom-seok, LEE Hyuk, and HWANG Soo-yeong, took attention because they are from YU GTEP Team.

YU GTEP Team provides a lot of support to students who are preparing for trade-related exams as a specialized institution for training youth trade experts. It supports online lectures for acquiring trade-related licenses such as customs officers and intensively conducts special lectures on trade theory and practical knowledge during vacations. It also operates special lectures and mentoring programs with invitation of seniors working as customs officers as well as alumnus seniors of current customs officers who are the consultants of YU GTEP Team. The graduates, who passed the exam, said, “We could get some knowledge and had the dream through the activities of GTEP Team. Especially, when listening to currently working seniors about field experiences, we could feel the attraction of the job of customs officers. Invited special lectures of senior customs officers and practical professionals were highly helpful in preparing for the exam.” GTEP Team is managed by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and Korea International Trade Association. YU implemented TI (Trade Incubator) Project of the Ministry of Industrial Resources in 2002 as the start and has been operating GTEP Project for 21 years until now; it is operating Class 16 of GTEP Team.
