[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] Korea Citibank announced on the 23rd that it has donated 290 million KRW in foundation sponsorship funds to employment competency enhancement programs for specialized high school students and female university students.

On the previous day, Citibank held a signing ceremony for the 'Shining Future Program' with JA Korea, an international non-profit youth education organization, at its headquarters in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and delivered the sponsorship funds. The ceremony was attended by Yoom Yoosoon, President of Korea Citibank.

Since 2015, Citibank has been operating employment competency enhancement programs with JA Korea to support the successful social advancement of specialized high school students. Since last year, it has also been conducting IT employment education for female university students and economic and financial education at high schools in financially underserved regions to reduce regional financial disparities.

The program provides employment special lectures and mentoring from executives and employees. It also offers guidance on resume editing, mock interviews by job category, and opportunities to take IT education programs.

President Yoom stated, "By continuously supporting this program, we aim to help participating students set their future career paths, develop their competencies, and grow into talents who contribute to society."
