[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jeonnam Information and Culture Industry Promotion Agency (Director Lee Jun-geun, hereinafter referred to as the Promotion Agency) revealed that young workers participating in the 'Jeonnam Youth Naeillo' project, a key initiative to expand local youth employment, have shown high satisfaction.

According to the Promotion Agency on the 23rd, from the 8th to the 16th, a 'field visit regular inspection' was conducted targeting institutions participating in the '2020 Jeonnam Youth Naeillo Project' across 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do.

The inspection team included dedicated managers from the Promotion Agency and 22 officials in charge from the respective cities and counties.

The inspection team assessed the working status of young workers, collected difficulties and opinions encountered during their tasks, and conducted an overall survey of the participating institutions.

Additionally, they focused on verifying whether the project was being operated in accordance with the Jeonnam Youth Naeillo project operation guidelines and regulations, and checked if clear task assignments for young workers helped them gain practical field experience.

This inspection was conducted minimizing movement and contacts in accordance with COVID-19 social distancing guidelines.

Young worker Kim Su-hoon (Jangseong Nanobio Research Center) said, “After majoring in bio, I was considering going to graduate school, but I thought employment was more important, so I participated in the Youth Naeillo project. I was able to gain sufficient practical experience on site and gained confidence in employment even after the project ended,” expressing satisfaction.

Another young worker, Kim Yoon-kyung (Good Neighbors Jeonnam Eastern Branch), said, “I graduated from a welfare-related department and was worried about how to get a job, but through Youth Naeillo, I was able to properly learn welfare work at a good place. I am grateful to Youth Naeillo for the help,” she said.

Director Lee Jun-geun of the Promotion Agency stated, “In the reality where youth employment is more difficult than ever due to prolonged economic recession and the impact of COVID-19, we are focusing our capabilities on providing opportunities for experience by matching young workers with job-seeking institutions and nurturing local talent. We will do our best to promote the project more efficiently and achieve macro-level results,” he said.
