[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Honam University Career Center (Director Kim Eun-ah) announced on the 16th that it has begun a month-long intensive support starting with the online orientation for the ‘2021 Employment Challenge’ held on the 15th to provide one-stop employment preparation for enrolled students.

The ‘2021 Employment Challenge’ connects about 60 enrolled students with 10 mentors, including current and former professionals in various fields, based on demand through one-on-one counseling, and conducts mentoring in small groups over three sessions.

Additionally, it supports the completion of employment portfolios, which have recently gained attention in the job market, and plans to select outstanding portfolios among the completed works to award a prize of 100,000 KRW and a certificate.

The ‘2021 Employment Challenge’ program was newly established last year, when COVID-19 was severe, aiming for intensive non-face-to-face employment support, achieving high satisfaction, and this year it is being operated by doubling the number of mentors and participating teams.

Kim Eun-ah, Director of the University Career Center, said, “We plan to continue supporting job placement and information provision even after the program ends, and will make multifaceted efforts to help young people build competitiveness through capacity building despite the uncertain situation caused by COVID-19.”
