[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Volunteer Center and SM Entertainment have once again joined hands to help young people explore career paths and plan for the future.

According to the Seoul Volunteer Center on the 10th, the center held an online job mentoring session called "Ranseonjab(job)dam(talk)" on the 7th, where 8 SM Entertainment employees met with 58 young people to share their job knowledge and experiences.

The mentoring covered a total of eight fields: ▲Content (performance) planning ▲A&R ▲Singer management ▲Photo ▲Management support ▲Investment planning and management ▲Social contribution ▲Human resources. The young participants were matched in small groups (7?9 people) with one employee from their field of interest and met for 90 minutes.

The young people were able to gain clarity about their career paths by listening to specialized knowledge and experiences unique to each job, which are difficult to understand without working in the field. Moreover, they received support and encouragement from mentors, gaining new motivation.

Lee Ki-baek, Head of Project Management, said, "I hope this was a time for young people, who have fewer opportunities to interact with seniors due to COVID-19, to overcome the uncertainty about their careers," adding, "We will continue to create opportunities for meetings with employee volunteers."

The online job mentoring sessions are held once or twice a month and can be checked on the Seoul Donghaeng website's notice board. For more details, please contact the Youth Project Team at the Seoul Volunteer Center.
