Hyundai Engineering, 'Untact Social Contribution'... Conducts Non-Face-to-Face Mentoring

Seoul Volunteer Center Hosts 'Raenseonjab(Job)dam(Talk)'
Selects Employee Mentors to Share Industry Trends, Job Expertise, and Career Counseling

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Hyundai Engineering announced on the 17th that it conducted a non-face-to-face job mentoring program called 'Raenseon Job(Talk)' for young people struggling with employment difficulties, in collaboration with the Seoul Volunteer Center.

Hyundai Engineering selected eight employees with more than three years of experience as mentors in various fields such as design, architecture, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, safety, management, and facility management. On the afternoon of the 17th, the mentors held job mentoring sessions with about 60 job seekers in two sessions.

The company stated, "In the social situation where many young people are suffering from severe employment difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, we aimed to share information and experiences related to Hyundai Engineering and the construction industry in general and help set career directions."

The mentoring was conducted online using a video conferencing program. Mentors with relevant experience were assigned according to the job interests of the participating youth, and for about an hour, they freely shared experiences and employment-related questions, communicating with each other.

Raenseon Job(Talk) is one of the 'Pro Bono' activities operated by the Seoul Volunteer Center since 2019. It is an activity where employees of various companies and institutions share their job expertise with young people as mentors. Pro Bono means activities that share one's professional expertise for the public good.

A Hyundai Engineering social contribution officer said, "Not only the youth but also the Hyundai Engineering employees who served as mentors had a good opportunity to reflect on their own experiences and jobs while conducting mentoring and to further enhance their leadership," adding, "We will further expand untact social contribution activities in line with the social atmosphere changed by the COVID-19 situation."
