The consulting and mentoring were conducted for students participating in the "High School Graduate Startup Competition" at the "2021 High School Graduate Success Employment Expo" held the previous day at SETEC in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Now in its 10th year, this expo is an event designed to help outstanding high school graduates enter society. It is hosted by the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Employment and Labor, Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Korea Credit Guarantee Fund selected 20 teams out of 45 vocational high school teams participating in the startup competition through judging. Selected teams received startup consulting and mentoring from professional consultants in the fields of entrepreneurship and online marketing.
This is part of the "Business Agreement for Activating High School Graduate Employment and Revitalizing SMEs" signed last December with the Ministry of Education and the Korea Student Aid Foundation. The pilot project, which provided one month of startup education and mentoring to students of Daegu Technical High School, has been expanded nationwide.
On the day of the event, seven teams, finally selected from the 20 teams, participated and presented their startup plans they had been developing. Based on the evaluation by experts and officials from participating organizations, awards such as the Minister of Education Award, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund Chairman’s Commendation, and the Korea Student Aid Foundation Chairman’s Commendation were given.
