[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jonghwa] The Ajou Group Social Welfare Foundation, Ajou Welfare Foundation, is conducting an 'Online Job Fair,' a future career exploration activity, through the 'Visiting Dream Finding' program.

Visiting Dream Finding is a social contribution program where external professional instructors visit local children's centers and other locations monthly to provide vulnerable children and adolescents in welfare blind spots with various career experiences.

Since the opening of Ajou Good Dream Center in 2017, it has received great responses by providing career exploration opportunities to vulnerable children in the Dongdaemun-gu area. Since 2020, the applicable area has been expanded to the entire Seoul region, offering more children and adolescents opportunities to set the right direction for their dreams and careers.

The online job fair, held over three days from the 15th to the 17th, targets a total of 83 participants: 33 fifth and sixth graders in elementary school and 50 first to third graders in middle school. Through special lectures by experts, participants can closely examine various career fields, create new job types independently with creative ideas, or experience jobs firsthand, allowing them time to explore future careers.

Kim Jayeon, manager of the Ajou Welfare Foundation, said, "The Visiting Dream Finding program supports children in finding their precious dreams by helping them consider what they like and want to do through career theory classes, online career experience activities, and future career exploration." She added, "We hope this future career exploration activity will be a time for them to establish their thoughts about their dreams and future."
