Gwangju University Accelerates Efforts to Help Local Unemployed Youth Find Jobs

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju University (President Kim Hyuk-jong) has stepped up to help local unemployed youth find jobs.

The Gwangju University University Job Center announced on the 31st that it will operate the '2021 Local Youth Employment Support' program once a week until November at the school's job cafe and counseling rooms of collaborative institutions.

This program, prepared to provide employment opportunities to local youth through industry-academic cooperation with local collaborative institutions, will be conducted through youth employment policy promotion, provision of recruitment information and briefings, employment counseling, and job linkage.

In the first program held on the 26th, a total of 16 unemployed local youths participated and received support such as enrollment in the National Employment Support System and individual counseling.

In particular, on that day, the Gwangju University University Job Center delivered a self-designed 'Employment Note' to the youth and plans to continuously provide employment counseling and job linkage.

Along with this, they plan to accelerate support and cooperation system establishment for youth employment policy promotion and education activation for local youth and students.

Recently, Gwangju University launched the 'University Job Center Supporters,' consisting of professional consultants and 10 students, to inform about youth employment policies implemented by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, local governments, and the government, helping them gain practical benefits.

Additionally, every year, they hold a youth employment policy competition targeting local high school and university students, providing guidance on labor laws, university life, and the importance of career exploration, gaining positive responses from the local community.

Yoon Hong-sang, director of the Gwangju University University Job Center, said, "We plan to actively implement support policies to maximize the effect of creating employment for local youth," adding, "We will operate various employment programs that can coexist with the region, not only for our students."
