[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 9th that it held the 'Geochang-gun Social Economy Academy' completion ceremony at Hana Education Counseling Center.

The Social Economy Academy was conducted four times from the 1st to the 8th for 20 students. Experts such as Lee Kyung-taek, Head of the Public Procurement Promotion Team at Everyone's Economy, Kwak Un-hak, Director of the Small Business Research Institute, and Kim Min-seok, Chairman of the Gyeongnam Cooperative Council, were invited to discuss and share their knowledge and experiences to understand social economy enterprises and find various business models.

In addition, participants visited social enterprises recognized as successful cases in Sancheong, Haman, and Gimhae cities to gain on-site experience by learning about the hardships overcome until the enterprises stabilized and the know-how of practical operations.

Kwon, who is preparing to start a business, said, "Visiting social economy enterprises and receiving on-site experience and practical training provided a really good opportunity to gain some understanding of the social economy, which was previously vague, and to glimpse ways to realize social value." He also showed deep interest in the individual startup consulting sessions held after the completion ceremony.

Meanwhile, the county plans to establish the 'Geochang-gun Social Economy Revitalization Five-Year Basic Plan' this year and will continue to devote administrative efforts and attention to creating a social economy ecosystem in the future.
