30 Trainees Undergo 4-Week Home Shopping Training

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] Lotte Homeshopping announced on the 12th that it will hold the 4th launch ceremony of the women's talent development program 'Sangsaeng Iljari' at the Amanti Hotel in Mapo, Seoul.

The event will be attended by Yoonsang Jung, Head of Communications at Lotte Homeshopping, Hyungsu Yoon, General Manager of the Sangsaeng Iljari Support Department at the Foundation for Cooperation between Large, Small and Medium Enterprises and Agriculture and Fisheries, and 30 trainees. It is organized as an opportunity to share the current operation status, trainees' feedback on the education, and future schedules. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, social distancing measures such as prior disinfection, temperature checks, and spaced seating will be implemented.

The 4th batch of trainees, who were finally selected, are women whose careers have been interrupted for up to five years due to employment difficulties or marriage. Many applicants who lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 related business crisis were selected. Over the next four weeks, practical capacity-building education for reemployment will be conducted through ▲ understanding the home shopping industry and job roles ▲ effective communication ▲ resume writing tips and interview consulting ▲ support for obtaining MOS certification. Considering COVID-19, the program will be operated in a hybrid format of online and offline, and trainees will receive separate education support funds. After completion, a job matching program linked with Lotte Homeshopping partner companies will also be conducted.

Lotte Homeshopping's Sangsaeng Iljari is operated jointly with the Foundation for Cooperation between Large, Small and Medium Enterprises and Agriculture and Fisheries as part of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' support project to expand youth employment since 2018. As of the 3rd batch, out of a total of 108 graduates, 89 have succeeded in finding employment. There have been cases of employment in various fields including show hosts, Lotte Homeshopping beauty-related partner companies, rental companies, and health food companies. Starting this year, the program has been expanded to twice a year, and practical education programs such as job application writing strategies have been added. The hiring incentive, which was paid 1.5 million KRW per hired person to partner companies for three months, has also been increased to 1.8 million KRW per month.

Yoonsang Jung, Head of Communications at Lotte Homeshopping, said, “Since 2018, we have been continuously striving to create jobs for women through the Sangsaeng Iljari program supporting the employment of women with career interruptions. Starting this year, we will expand the program to twice a year and add education to strengthen employment capabilities such as resume writing tips and certification acquisition to actively support all participants to succeed in reemployment.”
