Shinhan Bank Holds Inauguration Ceremony for 1st Cohort of 'Shinhan Career On'... Selects 70 Startups and 300 Specialized High School Students

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Shinhan Bank announced on the 30th that it held the inauguration ceremony for the 1st class of 'Shinhan Career On,' an employment education program that matches specialized high school students with startups.

Shinhan Career On is a social impact creation program that supports youth employment and entrepreneurship as part of Shinhan Square Bridge Youth Project. It provides specialized high school students with opportunities to gain practical experience through employment education and startup internships, while offering startups a suitable talent matching solution.

Starting with the recruitment announcement last month, Shinhan Bank finally selected 70 excellent startups requiring tasks in video, design, and promotion/marketing, and 300 specialized high school students and graduates who need employment competency enhancement education, practical training, field training, and internship courses.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the inauguration ceremony was held in a non-face-to-face manner, and startups and trainees participating in the program joined via online live streaming through the Zoom platform.

At the inauguration ceremony, Shinhan Bank President Okdong Jin delivered a welcome and encouragement message to the 1st class trainees and startups through a video congratulatory speech, and Kim Gwanhoon, CEO of Dookki Tteokbokki, gave a special lecture on the topic "Execution Strategies to Become a Master in Your Favorite Field."

The 1st class trainees of Shinhan Career On are scheduled to improve their job skills starting in July through action learning lead projects applicable to practical work, including employment competency enhancement education, mentoring by current professionals by job category, employment consulting, and individual AI group tests.

A Shinhan Bank official said, "Shinhan Career On will do its best to provide employment opportunities to specialized high school students and contribute to startups by supplying talent equipped with practical skills," adding, "Shinhan Bank will continue to practice the three major ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) strategic directions of eco-friendliness, coexistence, and trust through its core financial business."
