The education will be held 10 times (every Tuesday and Thursday) until August 20. Those who wish to enroll can apply through the Dongyang Mirae University Campustown Project Group blog by 11 a.m. on the 17th.

Sungkonghoe University will also complete the establishment of entrepreneurship support facilities consisting of startup spaces, media rooms, shared kitchens, and common areas within this year.

Additionally, to promote startups utilizing social economy enterprises and innovative technologies, the university will carry out projects including team coaching, expert mentoring, network building, and support for startup activity expenses. Programs such as specialized lectures by industry, support for multicultural youth, and expanding joint startup opportunities for multicultural families, immigrants, and native residents will also be prepared.

A Guro-gu official said, “We hope this entrepreneurship support program will help young people with fresh ideas and technological skills succeed in starting their businesses,” adding, “We will do our best to actively discover and support promising young entrepreneurs.”
