[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City will operate the 'Incheon Youth Portal' site from the 9th, where youth policies by sector can be searched all at once.

The city decided to revamp its homepage (www.incheon.go.kr/youth) and newly launch the service following criticism that the 'Youth Site,' operated since 2019, had poor accessibility because it was not linked to the city homepage.

The Incheon Youth Portal provides youth policies by sector such as jobs, housing & finance, education, welfare & culture, participation & rights, and offers a customized menu that separately provides only the projects available for application each month so that application deadlines are not missed.

Additionally, through linkage with the Korea Employment Information Service's Online Youth Center and OpenAPI, an integrated search function was added to gather and provide information on youth policies in Incheon and nationwide in one place. This will serve as a proactive information provision window to ensure that young people do not miss any policies due to lack of awareness.

OpenAPI (open application program interface) refers to a program that publicly shares web search result data and user interfaces externally, allowing users to develop various services and applications. It supports users in reusing open data to provide new services.

The city plans to build the 'Incheon Youth Portal Advancement System,' a two-way one-stop system that allows online application, reception, and management of youth policy projects, next year.

An official from Incheon City stated, "The Incheon Youth Portal will provide youth policies not only from Incheon but also nationwide in one place and support customized searches, serving as a credible online youth policy guide. We will do our best to build an advanced system in the future so that it can also function as the Incheon Youth Policy platform."
