Gwanak-gu Operates Online Job Experience Program for Young Job Seekers

Development and Execution of Simulation Tasks Applying Real Work with Current Employee Mentors... Recruiting Up to 8 Participants per Camp Until June 10

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) will operate an online job experience program called ‘Job Bootcamp’ starting in June to strengthen the employment capabilities of young job seekers.

‘Job Bootcamp’ is an experiential program where young people preparing for employment move beyond simple job lectures and mentoring formats to perform real work tasks over five weeks with actual professionals who have 3 to 7 years of experience, receiving feedback throughout.

The district stated that this program was prepared to provide participating youth with immersive and practical job experience opportunities to boost their confidence in employment and improve their adaptability after getting hired.

The available job fields are composed of four areas that are highly popular among young people: ▲Semiconductors ▲Marketing ▲IT/SW ▲Office Administration.

Participating youth will act as practitioners in their chosen field and carry out tasks developed by applying real work, together with mentors currently working at well-known companies in each sector.

All programs will be conducted online (via Zoom), with the Marketing and Office Administration camps starting on June 15, the IT/SW camp on June 20, and the Semiconductor camp on June 28.

In the first week of the program, job basics will be shared through job introductions and experience education by current professionals; weeks 2 to 4 will involve developing and performing practical tasks as simulation assignments; and in week 5, final task presentations and feedback will take place.

Each camp will recruit up to 8 young participants. Those wishing to participate can apply by selecting their desired job field on the dedicated Gwanak-gu Job Bootcamp website by June 10.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, “We have prepared an experiential program to provide the job experience that young people need most during their employment preparation process,” adding, “We hope that young people participating in the camp will gain practical experience comparable to internships, enhancing their confidence in employment and their adaptability to job roles after hiring.”
