[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Korea Federation of SMEs announced on the 18th that it held the completion ceremony for the 18th Happy Junggi Supporters, who have led efforts to improve awareness of youth-friendly SME jobs, online.

Happy Junggi Supporters are university student supporters of the Korea Federation of SMEs who have played a role as a platform for providing accurate information and forming correct perceptions about jobs in small and medium-sized enterprises. The program has been operating since 2010, with main activities including producing content to improve awareness of SME jobs, participating in SME events, and promoting them.

The 10 students of the 18th Happy Junggi Supporters actively engaged in activities to improve awareness of SMEs for nine months from April 17 to December 11, including producing awareness improvement videos, introducing support policies and systems, and conducting non-face-to-face interviews. In addition, they planned and produced review content for excellent products to promote SMEs struggling with market development due to COVID-19.

The Federation also provided specialized education to help students produce high-quality content, including knowledge and skills development in areas such as ▲understanding SMEs ▲copywriting ▲basic photography ▲video editing techniques, and fostering values.

Jae-sung Cho, the captain of the 18th Happy Junggi Supporters, said, “Through the Happy Junggi Supporters activities, I was able to see firsthand the importance and development potential of SMEs in Korea,” adding, “I will continue to work hard in my position until the day prejudices and preconceptions about SMEs disappear.”

Meanwhile, the 19th Happy Junggi Supporters will be recruited in February next year. The recruitment target is university students nationwide, including currently enrolled and on-leave students. Detailed information about the recruitment can be found on the Naver ‘Happy Junggi Supporters Blog.’
