[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is recruiting participants for the online youth employment support program held at the 'Youth Space Ieum' Job Cafe.

Youth Space Ieum (Bongcheon-ro 62-gil 5, 4th floor) is a space designated as a Seoul Job Cafe, providing various services to help young people prepare for employment.

The district plans to replace the employment support education programs, which were unable to operate due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), with non-face-to-face lectures using real-time online lecture programs (Zoom), starting from June.

The employment support education will be held 3 to 4 times per month from June to November, totaling 21 sessions. In June, sessions are scheduled for the 16th and 23rd from 7 PM to 9 PM, and on the 30th from 1 PM to 3 PM, each lasting 2 hours, totaling 3 sessions.

The program contents include ▲individual job competency tests and counseling ▲interview preparation speech lectures and practice ▲job application writing lectures ▲blind recruitment analysis lectures, all designed to provide practical help for youth employment. Any young job seeker can apply.

The number of participants is about 8 per lecture, recruited on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications can be made through the 'Seoul Job Portal' or 'MyOn Job' websites.

Additionally, Youth Space Ieum offers free job counseling with job counselors every Thursday from 2 PM to 6 PM. Each person can receive counseling for one hour, and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis via the Seoul Job Portal.

Mayor Park Junhee said, “We hope that replacing the employment support programs, which were suspended due to COVID-19, with online programs will help many young people,” and added, “In line with the district’s regional characteristic of having the highest youth ratio in the nation at 40.5%, we will continue to carry out various projects for youth.”
