Small and Medium Venture Trade Association Recruiting Companies for 'Youth Global Marketer' Participation

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Korea Small and Medium Venture Trade Association, in collaboration with the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Small and Medium Business Corporation, is recruiting companies and youth to participate in the 'Youth Global Marketer' project.

The Youth Global Marketer project provides free online and offline trade practical training, expert consulting, buyer matching and video consultation participation, and overseas marketing activity expenses to young export officers hired by small and medium enterprises.

Eligibility for the Youth Marketer project includes small and medium enterprises that have newly hired full-time youth aged 19 to under 34 since January of the previous year or have plans to hire in the first half of this year.

The number of recruits is 200, with one application allowed per company. If selected as a participating company, the young workforce can learn on-site trade practices and marketing techniques, and receive one-on-one consulting with trade experts.

The young workforce can receive support of up to 1.8 million KRW for airfare and overseas accommodation expenses necessary for marketing and sales promotion activities of their products, such as participating in trade delegations and exhibitions, meeting local overseas buyers, and receiving product orders.

To facilitate quick adaptation to work and sharing of organizational culture, mentoring with a senior colleague in the same workplace is supported with a mentoring activity fee of 120,000 KRW per month for six months. Additionally, to support the young workforce's new buyer discovery activities, targeted buyer discovery, matching, and participation in video consultation meetings are also available.

Small and medium enterprises wishing to participate can apply online through the Korea Small and Medium Venture Trade Association website by the 30th of this month.
