Hwasun-gun Conducts 'Youth Creator Training Program'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 29th that it will conduct the ‘Youth Creator Training Program’ to support youth entrepreneurship and online marketing from May 8 to June 7.

The training will be operated in three sessions: the 1st session for YouTube Creators, the 2nd session for Local Magazine Creators, and the 3rd session for Cultural Planning Creators.

The YouTube Creator class will begin with a special lecture titled ‘Life as a One-Person Media’ on May 7, followed by classes every Saturday (1 PM to 6 PM) from May 8 to June 7, totaling 19 sessions. Each session will start with a special lecture by experts in the relevant field, followed by course-specific training programs.

The program covers the entire process from planning to production and distribution, including storytelling techniques, photo and video shooting and editing, vlog video production, and YouTube uploading and distribution practice.

It also includes a ‘Commercialization Support Mentoring Program’ targeting local small business owners, agricultural and livestock workers, and prospective entrepreneurs. Various practical special lectures such as ‘Creating Videos with High View Counts’ and ‘Copyright and Legal Knowledge’ will be held intermittently during the lectures.

The program will recruit 20 youths aged 18 to 49 residing in the county or other regions.

The county plans to select trainees considering their place of residence and willingness to participate among the applicants.

All training fees will be supported by the county, and the classes will be held at the Youth Creator Training Center (2nd floor of the former Mudeungsan National Park Management Office).

Graduates of the training will receive benefits such as content production support and eligibility to participate in the Youth Creator Festa contest.

Applications can be submitted via Google Forms or by contacting Local Up Co., Ltd. or the county’s Population Policy Team.

Detailed information can be found in the announcements section on the county office website.

A county official said, “Creators will grow into a resource and occupational group that plays an important role in modern society where cultural demand has increased,” and added, “We hope many young people who are interested but have not had the opportunity to learn will apply.”
