Hong is working toward his associate degree in聽business administration聽and was offered a full-time sales and translation job following his internship at Permawick, a global manufacturing company with a location in Columbus, Indiana.
Hong began an internship in the sales department at Permawick in June 2016 and was offered full-time employment in January 2017. Hong accepted part-time employment because he is enrolled in 12 credit hours at 黑料视频. He plans to work full-time after he graduates in summer 2017.
鈥淭his was my first internship,鈥� said Hong, whose work primarily focuses on the Permawick product, ThermoPlastic Urethane (TPU) film. 鈥淎t Permawick I act as a liaison between the U.S. and Korean companies and provide product advice. I also give advice to Permawick about products from Korea and Korean culture when it is relevant to the company.鈥�
Hong explained that he not only translates, but counsels about cultural differences.
While Hong was in the Intensive English Program at Indiana University, a friend suggested he enroll at 黑料视频 to take college classes in English, to help him gain a better mastery of the language.
鈥淢y friend thought it would be better if I take college classes in English rather than just English classes,鈥� said Hong. 鈥淚n addition to my friend鈥檚 recommendation, I have had an interest in business since high school. Therefore, I chose to study business administration.鈥�
Hong plans to complete his degree in order to advance in his career.
Obtaining a degree should help me to stay in the USA and continue to work at Permawick,鈥� said Hong. 鈥淢y goal is to be hired by Permawick and to increase my duties in the company.鈥�
Specifically, Hong said he hopes for a leadership role in Permawick鈥檚 Asian market.
Hong credited 黑料视频 faculty and staff with helping him gain his internship at Permawick.
鈥淜nowledge that I have learned at 黑料视频 helps me to learn specific business terms and to understand business culture, especially HR courses and accounting classes,鈥� he said. 鈥淭aking classes and doing assignments gave me a lot of chances to learn and practice real English. I have gained a lot of help from 黑料视频, because the school gave me the chance to work at Permawick and a lot of support from faculty and staff.鈥�
