Jungnangjin Road Vocational Experience Support Center Operates Non-Face-to-Face 'Career Experience Visiting Schools'

Providing the 'Naeson Naeman (Made by My Own Hands)' Career Experience Program for First-Year Students at 14 Local Middle Schools Until December

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will operate a non-face-to-face online career experience program, ‘Naesonnaeman_Nae Son-euro Naega Mandeunda’ (Made by My Own Hands), starting from the 11th.

This program, conducted for first-year students of 14 middle schools in the area, is operated online in a non-face-to-face manner to ensure safe experiences without concerns about COVID-19.

The ‘Naesonnaeman_Nae Son-euro Naega Mandeunda’ program allows schools wishing to participate to submit an application to the Jungnang Career and Job Experience Support Center (Director Lee Hyun-bae), which then provides experience kits to each school so that students can participate along with videos.

In particular, to overcome the limitations of online programs that might be overlooked, the program is designed to focus on hands-on experiences, receiving high responses from participants.

Moreover, it provides local youth with various job experience opportunities, along with information on professional job introductions, related career fields, and guidance on university majors.

The career experience job groups include 10 experience contents such as a leather craftsman who makes card wallets, a furniture designer who makes wooden pencil holders, a horticulturist who creates succulent plants, terrariums, and canvas frames, an animal-assisted therapist who makes animal frames, a florist who conducts bouquet-making experiences, a magician who uses magic teaching tools for magic experiences, and makers who make LED light phone stands.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “We will provide diverse and safe non-face-to-face programs to youths who face difficulties in on-site job experiences due to COVID-19, sparing no support for their dreams and career exploration.”

The Jungnang Career and Job Experience Support Center hosted the ‘Jungnang Youth 5G Career Job Festival’ last year with 36 booths, where 2,500 middle school students participated in experience activities, and held Mentor Day and various themed programs, leading local youth in career exploration.
