[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) opened new facilities, the ‘Southwest Metropolitan Job Cafe’ and the ‘Digital Creator Center,’ at the ‘Yangcheon-gu Youth Startup Center,’ a hub space for youth entrepreneurship, on the 28th, and revamped it as the ‘Yangcheon Digital Imagination Campus.’

The Yangcheon Digital Imagination Campus (75 Sinjeong-ro 7-gil, Yangcheon-gu) has a total area of 965㎡, utilizing the existing spaces of ‘Seoul Startup Cafe Yangcheon Sinjeong Branch (365㎡)’ and ‘Yangcheon Youth Startup Hub (600㎡),’ with the addition of the ‘Southwest Metropolitan Job Cafe (66㎡)’ and the ‘Digital Creator Center (25㎡),’ making up a total of four zones.

At the ‘Metropolitan Job Cafe,’ Seoul City has created a youth space as a job cafe to support youth employment and operates employment support programs such as profile photo shoots, portfolio writing techniques for job change and employment, and AI mock interview programs for youth preparing for startups as part of a regional hub infrastructure project providing job information and employment support programs.

Additionally, the ‘Digital Creator Center’ is equipped with a studio and filming and editing equipment for video shooting, preparing support for youth who wish to shoot videos and employment linkage programs that can connect them to the video-related industry.
