[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Hana Financial Group announced on the 21st that it held the 'Begin Again, Happy Internship Orientation' event to support the revitalization of the social economy through job creation and to cheer on the new start of interns with developmental disabilities, experienced women, and young designers.

The event, held yesterday at the Myeongdong headquarters in Jung-gu, was attended by representatives and employees of 33 social innovation companies participating in the Hana Power On Impact and Hana Power On Challenge projects, as well as 41 interns newly starting, consisting of people with developmental disabilities, experienced women, and young designers.

The selected interns this time consist of diverse talents who have worked hard with hope for employment despite the increased difficulty in finding jobs due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), and they will undergo internships for 3 to 4 months at their respective selected social innovation companies.

Hana Financial Group supports all expenses such as salaries during the internship period so that social innovation companies can hire interns without burden, and if the internship leads to regular employment, additional incentives will be provided, playing a pioneering role in creating quality jobs.

Kim Jung-tae, Chairman of Hana Financial Group, encouraged, “The protagonists of this internship are people with developmental disabilities who will turn the prejudice of impossibility into possibility, experienced women with professional capabilities, and young designers dreaming of social innovation. We support the hopeful future of the interns starting anew and hope that everyone will be converted to regular employees and happily meet again.”

Hana Financial Group also operates the Hana Social Venture Academy, which educates and nurtures social innovation entrepreneurs, believing in a virtuous cycle of entrepreneurship where job creation increases and social problems decrease as social ventures to solve social issues increase. Following last year, the second cohort has been selected and entrepreneurship education is underway, and in November this year, achievements will be shared through the Hana Social Venture Live event.
