Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the career-related awareness of dental hygiene students and their awareness of employment in an effort to shed light on the consciousness of dental hygiene students on career and employment. Methods : A survey was conducted on 340 selected dental hygiene students in several colleges of health located in an urban community, South Gyeongsang Province, from June 8 and 16, 2016. The collected data from 335 respondents were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 for Windows. Result : Where they hoped to find a job was analyzed, and they hoped to be hired in an large city due to the possibility of development and expectations for high pay, and the students who wanted to be employed in a small or mid-sized urban community cited personal connections as the reason(p<.001). As for conditions for getting a good job, the largest number of the students placed importance on skills, and the students who were in the higher academic years attached more importance to skills and money(p<.01). As for preferred workplace, dental hospital was the biggest group's favorite workplace, and the students who were in the higher academic years preferred to work in dental clinic or dental hospital(p<.05). Concerning the length of dental hygienist career, the greatest group thought it would be between 11 and 15 years(p<.05). Conclusion : The findings of the study might not be generalizable because students from a few colleges only were investigated, but the findings are expected to help improve the understanding of dental hygiene students on career and how to prepare for the job market and to provide colleges and educational institutions with information on career and ways of offering vocational guidance.

Destination choice analysis is an important issue of transportation demand research. The current study analyses the influential factors for university students' trip destination choice. The university students differ from other population groups in many aspects. The study is concerned with shopping, leisure and amusement purposes of trips, other than obligatory trips such as going to school. University students' daily life differs from those of employees and middle and high school students in the sense that a lot of flexible activities are mixed with fixed activities such as work and school attending. A multinomial logit analysis investigates the significance of the impact of a set of variables including residential location, gender and income of the university student. The results show that these variables affect the destination choice of shopping, leisure and amusement. The analysis also provides interesting interpretation of the relationships of the variables with the location choices, which are particularly relevant to the university students.

The number of foreign qualification holders has been on the rise due to the globalization and the development of transportation. As in other developed nations, Korea faces the growing demand for foreign higher education recognition (FHER) since the number of foreign students and migrant workers has reached about one million recently. Unfortunately, there has been no FHER system in Korea so far. In this context, this study has compared the cases of Australia and New Zealand. The results reveal that these two countries are similar in that both of them have developed their own FHER system in order to attract highly qualified foreign workers and students. However, they are different in terms of the implementation of the FHER system and the development of the FHER database. Besides, the cases of both countries shed light on the key issues related to the FHER. Taken together, they provide significant implications for the Korean government which has to develop its own FHER system in the near future.

This article examines the reasons for the observed discrepancy between worker's actual and required levels of schooling and the resulting economic effects in wage and labor mobility using KRIVET's Graduates Economic Activities Survey in 2005. Overeducated workers in Korea are estimated to be 10.1%-20.7% among junior college graduates and 18.8% among university graduates for their first job according to job analysis method and worker's self-assessment method each. The effects of school quality-measured by the student/teacher ratio, school building area/student ratio-on the overeducation of their graduates are found to be mostly insignificant not only junior colleges but also universities. This founding implies that the increase of education investment from schools does not acquire any recognition from the labor market. Also, the effects of overeducation and school quality on wages are found to be insignificant and job mobility has little effects on improving overeducated workers' job match.

성공적인 창업을 위해서는 창업자 개인의 기본적인 역량뿐만 아니라 체계적인 창업교육과 학습을 통해 창업자가 되기 위한 필요역량을 습득해야 한다(최서윤, 2017). 대학생의 창업을 활성화하기 위해서는 다양한 분야를 전공하고 있는 대학생의 학문적 특성을 고려하고 그들의 전공 및 학문적 특성을 고려하여 창업교육 및 창업지원을 통해 대학생의 창업의지를 높이는 것이 필요하다(이우진 김진수 김용태, 2013). 창업의지는 창업에 대한 행위적 태도를 의미하며, 창업이라는 긴 과정의 첫 단계이고, 개인의 태도와 경험을 창업이라는 행동으로 매개하는 역할을 한다(윤방섭, 2004). 대학이 학생들에게 창업교육 및 창업공간, 멘토링, 컨설팅, 사업화를 위한 창업지원을 하고, 대학생들은 이러한 창업교육 및 창업지원을 긍정적으로 받아들일수록 창업의지가 높아져 취업이 아닌 창업을 선택할 가능성이 높아질 것이다. 조사대상은 전국의 보건계열 대학에 재학 중인 대학생이다. 자료수집 방법은 보건계열 재학 중인 대학생을 대상으로 이메일 설문지가 발송되었고, 자기보고식 작성방법에 따라 설문조사 되었다. 총735개의 설문지가 발송되었고 그 중 불성실하게 응답한 설문을 제외한 총 675개의 설문을 최종 설문으로 사용하였다. 자료수집기간은 2017년 10월 9일부터 2017년 10월 18일까지 10일간 이루어졌다. 본 연구를 수행하기 위해 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0을 활용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구는 보건계열 대학생의 창업가 특성이 창업의지에 영향을 미치는지, 창업교육과 창업지원제도는 기업과 특성과 창업의지의 관계에서 조절효과를 미치는지를 확인하였다. 보건계열대학생의 창업가 특성인 성취욕구, 자기효능감, 위험감수성 중 위험감수성만이 창업의지에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 창업교육, 창업지원제도인 대학창업지원활동, 정부창업지원정책 중 창업가 특성과 창업의지 간의 관계에서 대학창업지원제도만 조절작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다.
