High School Graduate Employment Information and Benefits in One Place... Naming Contest for 'High School Graduate Employment Platform'

Operation of Employment Support System Exclusively for High School Graduates Begins in September
Name Contest Held from 24th to October 20th

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Ministry of Education and the Korea Student Aid Foundation have established a 'High School Graduate Exclusive Employment Support Operating System' where information on companies hiring high school graduates and various employment-related support benefits can be viewed at a glance, and are holding a naming contest.

The High School Graduate Exclusive Employment Support Operating System (platform) has been in operation since September, implementing a job connection system to efficiently link high school graduate job seekers, who are facing relatively greater difficulties in employment due to COVID-19, with companies seeking to hire talented high school graduate youth.

The system provides about 120,000 job postings and related company information through public-private cooperation with organizations such as the Korea Employment Information Service, Korea Credit Guarantee Fund, and Saramin. Companies can use the platform to access information on benefits (incentives) provided by related ministries and agencies regarding high school graduate hiring or vocational high school field training, as well as search portfolios of students wishing to be employed and information on all vocational high schools (583 schools).

The naming contest for the High School Graduate Exclusive Employment Support Operating System will be held from the 24th to October 20th. Each citizen can submit up to two entries. Winners will be selected based on criteria such as symbolism, originality, and conciseness, with one grand prize winner (prize money of 1 million KRW), two excellence award winners (prize money of 500,000 KRW), and three encouragement award winners (prize money of 200,000 KRW) to be awarded. The winning entries will be announced on October 29th.

Jung Jong-cheol, Vice Minister of Education, said, "I hope the High School Graduate Exclusive Employment Support Operating System (platform) will become a bridge of mutual growth between high school graduate youth struggling with employment and companies wishing to hire excellent high school graduate talent."
