[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Tongyeong City in Gyeongnam announced on the 22nd that it held a completion ceremony for the youth entrepreneurship practical course education, which has been ongoing since March to support the successful startup of young people.

The "Youth Startup 1st Street Tongyeong Dream Zone Creation Project" is a program that accepts business ideas from unemployed youth aged 19 to under 39 within the jurisdiction, selects youth prospective entrepreneurs through document screening and interviews, and supports them from startup to post-management. The program includes youth entrepreneurship practical course education.

This education covers startup basics (theory), startup practice (practical), special lectures on entrepreneurship, and startup consulting. It produced four graduates who are preparing to open their businesses, and among them, three have already completed business registration.

The city provides subsidies to the graduates for rent, interior costs, and other expenses, and plans to continue steady support through consulting and promotion in the future.

Participant A said, "I feel reassured to have met colleagues I can rely on and mentors who can provide consulting when things get difficult during the startup process," adding, "I will work hard not to disappoint the city that has supported me."
