[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon National University (President Ko Young-jin) College of Future Convergence announced on the 1st that it will support online promotion using YouTube for local small business owners who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, in collaboration with the Suncheon City Small Business Association and Yeosu MBC.

The College of Future Convergence at Suncheon National University signed an agreement on April 2nd with the Suncheon City Small Business Association to jointly develop and operate educational programs for small business owners. As a follow-up measure, this online promotion project was planned with budget support from Jeollanam-do.

Consulting experts will provide management improvement and promotional strategies to five companies selected through internal screening by the Suncheon City Small Business Association. Yeosu MBC New Media Center will film this process and produce videos in the form of reviews, education, entertainment, and advertisements to be broadcast on their YouTube channel. Park No-jin, CEO of Masil Co., Ltd., who mainly manages stores with annual sales of around 10 billion KRW and consults in the food service industry, will participate as a professional consultant in this project.

On the 29th of last month, the first online promotional video titled "Consulting Project for Small Business Owners Suffering from Management Deterioration Due to COVID-19" was released for the first time on Yeosu MBC’s ‘Ppojjak TV’ YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/blcxOKC2NAY). Videos showing the before and after consulting situations of the five companies will be released sequentially until the 30th.

In the future, Suncheon National University’s College of Future Convergence plans to provide opportunities for real-time communication on their YouTube channel among professional consultants, small business owners, university officials, and the general public regarding various situations and questions occurring on site. The consulting videos will also be posted on the websites of Suncheon National University, the Suncheon City Small Business Association, and related organizations to be used as online educational materials in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era.

Kim Hyun-duk, Dean of the College of Future Convergence at Suncheon National University, said, “Through this project, we hope that local small business owners struggling due to COVID-19 can benchmark management improvement cases from each other and develop new items.” He added, “We will continue to carry out various projects so that the university can develop as a lifelong education hub university that pioneers the future together with the local community.”

Meanwhile, the College of Future Convergence at Suncheon National University has been selected for three consecutive years as the only national university in the Honam region for the Ministry of Education and the National Institute for Lifelong Education’s ‘Support Project for University Lifelong Education Systems.’ It is striving to revitalize lifelong education in the region with project funding from the government and local governments.
