[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Hwasun Office of Education announced on the 23rd that it conducted the ‘2020 1st Career Coaching Startup Camp’ for first-year middle school students in the district undergoing the free semester system from the 21st to the 22nd.

The ‘Career Coaching Startup Camp’ was organized to alleviate the anxiety about career paths among students of small rural schools and to allow them to directly experience entrepreneurial spirit in line with the changing social structure.

The first day of education involved preparing startup items and conducting a mock startup, shifting students’ focus from the school or local community to society at large, discovering problems related to startups, and concretizing ideas.

On the second day, students directly produced YouTube video content that could be used as a marketing promotion strategy. They also experienced the distribution practice stage of editing photos or videos taken with personal mobile phones and uploading them to YouTube.

Choi Won-sik, the superintendent of education, said, “The startup camp was planned to provide an active and progressive career exploration experience, and we will continue to build educational infrastructure suitable for the 4th Industrial Revolution era and spare no support.”
