[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon will visit the first Yeongdeungpo campus of the ‘Youth Employment Academy,’ established by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to nurture field-oriented talents for the 4th Industrial Revolution, on the 25th.

On this day, he will observe the on- and offline practical interviews of the employment support program ‘Meet-Up Start Day’ and inspect the status of campus facility development.

‘Meet-Up Start Day’ is an employment support program that connects interview opportunities between young job seekers who have completed or are currently attending educational programs at the Yeongdeungpo campus of the Youth Employment Academy and companies in the 4th Industrial Revolution sectors seeking to hire outstanding talent, ensuring that the academy’s education leads to actual employment.

Additionally, Mayor Oh will observe the educational courses at the Youth Employment Academy Yeongdeungpo campus and encourage young people preparing for employment. He will also have time to converse with young students currently enrolled and representatives from companies in digital new technology fields of the 4th Industrial Revolution, such as fintech and AI.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government’s ‘Youth Employment Academy’ provides free practical skills training in digital new technology fields of the 4th Industrial Revolution to job seekers in their 20s and 30s and offers a ‘total youth employment solution’ that links education to employment and entrepreneurship. This is part of Mayor Oh’s administrative master plan, ‘Seoul Vision 2030,’ aimed at restoring the job ladder policy. Seoul plans to open 10 campuses across the city by 2030.

Meanwhile, the first Yeongdeungpo campus of the Youth Employment Academy, which Mayor Oh visited on this day, operates by expanding and transforming the functions of the existing ‘Southwest Region Technology Specialized Campus.’ Currently, a total of 220 people are participating in 11 educational courses, including big data expert training and AI developer training.
