Korean Air (003490) said on the 10th that an education-donation volunteer group it formed with Asiana Airlines (020560) held aviation career lectures for 140 first-year students at Hanyang University Middle School in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on the 9th.
Drawing on their experience as current aviation professionals, the education-donation volunteers from both companies introduced various jobs in the aviation industry and offered advice to help students plan their careers. The students broadened their understanding of the aviation industry by hearing explanations of actual work.
A Korean Air flight crew member who took part in the lecture said, "Seeing the students' passion reminded me of the time when I first dreamed of becoming a flight crew member, which made it meaningful." The member added, "It was an even more meaningful time to be able to cheer on the children's dreams together with Asiana Airlines and share both companies' experiences."
In addition to education-donation activities, the companies are also joining efforts in social contribution activities for environmental protection. The two companies run the "Two Hands Together" activity, in which employees from both companies gather on the last Friday of every month to practice the value of sharing, continuing their mutual growth with local communities.
A Korean Air official said, "The social contribution activities in which employees from both companies participate together deliver warmth to local communities while also serving as a meaningful opportunity to enhance harmony and communication between the organizations." The official added, "Based on our organizational culture of a 'journey together,' we will continue to carry out ongoing sharing activities."
