Mirae Asset Daewoo's Talent Donation to Solve Youth Employment Issues

Providing IB and WM Job Training for Financial Sector Job Seekers Through Employee Talent Donation

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Hwajeong] Mirae Asset Daewoo announced on the 17th that it jointly provided 75 hours of free lectures per person to 4,155 students from 22 universities located in Seoul who wish to work in the financial sector, in collaboration with the job training specialized startup Crackerbox Inc. (service name Career High), to address the youth employment issue, which has recently emerged as a social problem due to the real economy recession and prolonged social distancing.

Recently, the employment trend in the financial sector has shifted from open recruitment to recruitment by specific departments, making prior preparation for the desired job role necessary.

In response to this situation, Mirae Asset Daewoo decided to sponsor the 'Career High JOB多 Tutorial Week' as part of practicing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) inclusive finance. Current professionals in IB (ECM, DCM, M&A) and asset management (WM), which are among the most preferred roles in securities companies by university students, participated as talent donors, attracting high interest from students.

Tutorial Week is an event where 25 current financial industry practitioners from securities, banking, insurance, and asset management serve as mentors, directly communicating with university students about industry status and prospects, and providing advice on career entry.

A Career High representative explained, “This event, held over ten days from March 5 to 14, generated a social contribution effect equivalent to approximately 3.1 billion KRW, considering the typical job training cost of 10,000 KRW per hour.”

Mirae Asset Daewoo plans to continue leading the practice of inclusive finance through collaboration with various startups addressing youth employment issues, alongside the scholarship projects conducted by the Mirae Asset Park Hyun-joo Foundation.
