Seongdong-gu Opens Online Free Lecture 'Raenseon Youth School'

Speech Training, Business Skill Up, and 2 More Courses: First 20 Applicants Per Course Accepted Until the 27th

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Won-oh) is recruiting participants for the online education program "Ranseon Youth School," based on a non-face-to-face video platform, targeting local youth.

"Ranseon Youth School" is a program designed to help both job seekers and office workers with self-development and financial education that aid social life and independence, moving away from the entrepreneurship and job-focused education previously offered by public institutions.

This education is held in the evening to accommodate young people who have difficulty receiving educational benefits due to time constraints from work or studies. It is conducted in real-time, interactive sessions using the non-face-to-face video platform (ZOOM), addressing the challenges of group education caused by COVID-19.

The program consists of four courses: △ Speech education for job seekers and social newcomers △ Business skill-up for office workers △ Financial knowledge essential for social newcomers △ Art-tech education that cultivates an eye for artworks and provides investment tips.

The instructors are practical experts with years of work experience in their fields, including successful entrepreneurs, asset managers, certified public accountants, and employment consultants.

The education targets youth aged 19 to 39 who reside or are based in Seongdong-gu, with each course running four sessions from June to July.

Applications can be made from the 21st to the 27th via the Seongdong-gu website (http://www.sd.go.kr) under the event application menu, with 20 participants accepted per course on a first-come, first-served basis.

A district official stated, "Speech improvement education, which is important in social life but taught by no one, and business skill-up education that teaches how to read financial statements and improve work skills using Excel, are expected to be especially helpful for youth preparing for employment or social newcomers."

Mayor Jeong Won-oh said, "We will work together with the autonomous district and youth to come up with more realistic and concrete solutions to various youth issues that cannot be solved by employment alone," adding, "We will help local youth achieve confident and happy independence."
