[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) will operate the ‘Airport Security Screening Specialist Training Course’ and the ‘Youth Culinary School Course’ as youth employment linkage programs starting in April.

The ‘Airport Security Screening Specialist Training Course’ provides mandatory education such as new special guard training and initial security screening personnel training, aiming for over 70% employment rate among program graduates.

The professional training institute, Korea Aviation Security Education Center, is in charge of the education. Through a network of hiring companies built on extensive experience and know-how, the trained youth will be employed by special security companies and work at airports or related businesses.

Additionally, this year, the ‘Youth Culinary School Course’ will be operated for the first time as a youth employment linkage program.

This course, conducted in partnership with Jangsaem Food, a prospective social enterprise dining company in Yangcheon-gu, is open to any youth aged 19 to 39 residing in Yangcheon-gu who wish to pursue employment in the culinary and dining sectors.

The Youth Culinary School Course is offered in two tracks: Japanese cuisine and Korean & buffet Western cuisine, and is conducted through one-on-one mentoring by national master chefs of Korea.

Since the culinary field has a high employment rate, participants can find jobs in various sectors such as hotels, convention centers, and franchises, as well as have the potential for personal entrepreneurship in the future.

The application period for the Youth Culinary School Course is until March 30, and for the ‘Airport Security Screening Specialist Training Course’ until April 7.

The recruitment quota is 10 people per course, and final selection will be made through interviews.

Youth interested in participating can check detailed information on the Yangcheon-gu office website notice board, download the application form, fill it out, and apply via email (xingming@yangcheon.go.kr).

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “We will actively promote substantial projects that resonate with youth and meet their perspectives, providing practical help for youth employment.”
