[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) operates the "Foreign Company Employment Academy" year-round to expand the narrow job market caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to provide optimal employment success opportunities for young people aspiring to join foreign companies.

The district explained that among Seoul's autonomous districts, it ranks third in the proportion of foreign companies and has a relatively large number of international students. In line with the increasing preference for foreign companies in employment trends, this academy curriculum was prepared.

The academy curriculum will be continuously operated in a total of 20 sessions until December this year, providing 1:1 consulting and special lectures by current employees to all young students hoping to work at foreign companies.

This year, especially considering the need for efficient adaptation of young people and the high time and cost required to prepare for English interviews, a mock English interview program will also be operated to provide optimized employment support.

Additionally, a special lecture will be prepared where a current employee working at Google Korea, a global IT company that everyone dreams of, will vividly share job characteristics and the employment process. In the second half of the year, special lectures will be held by carefully selecting consumer goods companies preferred by young job seekers.

One-on-one consulting with experts will be held 18 times in total, conducted online in real-time from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays and Thursdays of each month until December, providing detailed guidance on writing English resumes and English interview know-how.

The program focuses on providing in-depth employment support services rather than a one-way lecture style for young students.

There will be two special lectures in total, inviting current employees from global IT companies and consumer goods companies to provide vivid recruitment processes and employment secrets.

Applications can be made through a Google Form posted on the Seocho-gu Office website notice board. Six people will be recruited per 1:1 consulting session, and 50 people for the special lectures by current employees.

For detailed inquiries, contact the Child and Youth Division of the district office.

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Jo said, "I hope this will be the key to fully opening the frozen door of employment for young people preparing to join foreign companies, and we will spare no effort in preparing and supporting young people to live a happy future without employment worries."
