Jeongeup-si Recruiting Participants for 'Local Youth Startup Education'

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk and SK Nexilis announced on the 16th that they are recruiting young entrepreneurs to participate in the Joy’n Jeongeup local youth startup education program to solve local problems and further revitalize Jeongeup’s original downtown area.

Joy’n Jeongeup is a regional rediscovery revitalization project jointly promoted by Jeongeup City and SK Nexilis for the mutual development of the local community.

Last October, they also established ‘Shared Store No. 1 and 2,’ a space near Saemgoul Market on Cheonbyeon-ro for prospective young entrepreneurs and local creators.

The Joy’n Jeongeup youth startup education aims to improve the store operation experience and know-how of young entrepreneurs in Jeongeup and strengthen their self-reliance capabilities.

The education targets 20 teams of prospective entrepreneurs and existing entrepreneurs within three years, aged between 18 and 39, who have an address in Jeongeup and wish to solve local problems in Jeongeup’s original downtown area and start a business with a new business model.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form from the Joy’n Jeongeup website and sending it via email by the 7th of next month.

The education will be held for 10 weeks from April 5 to June 7 at the Jeongeup Youth Support Center, and participants will be offered the benefit of using the Joy’n Jeongeup shared office, scheduled to open in April, free of charge for six months.

After the education, excellent teams will be selected through evaluation. Outstanding prospective entrepreneurs will receive startup support funds linked to the Jeongeup Youth Development Fund and startup consulting organized by the Youth Support Center.

Additionally, outstanding existing entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to participate in the Joy’n Jeongeup small business consulting program, and both teams will receive additional points when applying to enter the Shared Store.
