GWANGJU – The 2015 Gwangju Summer Universiade Organizing Committee is fostering broadcasting assistants to take part in the international signal production, including all competitions as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.

Together with the host broadcaster, KBS (Korean Broadcasting System), GUOC 2015 will conduct broadcasting skill training for local university students and enable them to work as broadcasting assistants during the Gwangju Universiade.

The training programme for broadcasting assistants will consist of 22 sessions of lectures about theories and practical experience from professional broadcasting officials and currently 20 local university students are taking part in the programme.

Park Hyun-jeong, the Director General of the PR & Media Division, stated, “Through this opportunity, local university students will be provided the chance to earn tuition grants as well as pick up specialized broadcasting skills and participate in the production of an international signal for a multi-sporting event.” He also added, “The Organizing Committee will also benefit from this opportunity, as it will eliminate shortages in broadcasting personnel as well as increasing the budget reduction for the Universiade.”
