[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City in Jeollanam-do announced on the 24th that the opening date of Suncheonman Job World, the largest vocational experience center in the Honam region, has been set for October 16.

The original opening date of Suncheonman Job World was scheduled for May, but considering the COVID-19 crisis situation and the spatial characteristics where vocational experiences involve face-to-face contact in enclosed spaces, the opening date was changed to October to anticipate herd immunity through vaccination.

The city plans to strengthen vocational experience content through pilot operations due to the delayed opening and prepare for a more systematic opening so that children and adolescents can safely experience various occupations.

Additionally, the city will carry out pre-promotion activities to attract visitors using various online and offline promotional media, and actively promote the use of Suncheonman Job World for students' career experiences through business agreements with elementary, middle, and high schools and education support offices in each region.

A city official stated, “Since the main users of Suncheonman Job World are children and adolescents who are vulnerable to infectious diseases and there is concern about the spread of infection in the local community, it was inevitable to postpone the opening. We ask for the understanding of students, parents, teachers, and other education-related personnel who were waiting for the May opening, and we will meet expectations with even more satisfying content after the long wait.”

Meanwhile, Suncheonman Job World is a space where children and adolescents can experience more than 60 different occupations, built with a total project cost of 48.5 billion KRW, covering a total floor area of 8,007㎡ across one basement floor and two above-ground floors.
