Yeongdeungpo-gu Launches Real-Time 'Online Video Job Mentoring' Service

From 6 PM to 9 PM on the 24th: Valuable Job Information Provided by Current Employees of 9 Global Companies Including Disney and Amazon

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Chae Hyun-il) will hold an ‘Online Video Employment Mentoring’ session on the 24th to provide valuable employment information to university students and job seekers amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to the prevention of COVID-19 cluster infections, in-person lectures, various employment special lectures, and job fairs have been canceled, leaving university students and job seekers in an environment where it is difficult to obtain the latest employment information and advice from seniors, in addition to learning gaps.

Accordingly, the district will hold the ‘Online Video Employment Mentoring’ to provide young people with mentoring from current employees of global companies such as Disney, Amazon, and Amorepacific, along with various employment-related information.

This ‘Online Video Employment Mentoring’ consists of △employment special lectures △panel discussions △group mentoring with current employees of global companies in various job fields such as planning, human resources, sales support, and IT.

In particular, it will be conducted as mentoring that uses video, audio, and chat to share young people’s concerns and employment-related information and communicate interactively.

First, through the real-time video special lecture called ‘Keynote,’ participants will learn core points related to employment such as the differences between global and Korean company employment, employment information, the qualities companies seek in talent, and job competencies.

Next, in the panel discussion, three mentors and mentee youths will hold a discussion and have a Q&A session about the discussion content.

Finally, in the nine group mentoring sessions, participants can select the mentor lecture they want and have detailed and professional mentoring time with the respective mentor for employment.

This mentoring will use the ‘ZOOM Cloud Meetings’ program, which is used for corporate video conferences, allowing nine mentors and about 100 mentees to communicate and exchange information interactively. Anyone can participate from anywhere with internet access.

Any young person aged 39 or younger can apply by phone (☎2670-1666) or online (https://forms.gle/1CQ4d8cnrshrcWWp7). The course is completely free and recruitment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Selection results will be notified individually.
