Gwangju Seo-gu Council Prepares for 9th Assembly Opening with 'Job Competency Enhancement' Training

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shin Dong-ho] The Secretariat of the Seo-gu Council of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 20th that it conducted a job competency enhancement training to successfully conclude the 8th council and prepare for the opening of the newly starting 9th council.

Initially, a training session for all council members was planned, but due to the overlap with the Democratic Party of Korea elected members' workshop at the same time, and the expected absence of members who lost in the local elections or did not run, the staff training was promoted to minimize budget waste.

Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, no staff workshops had been held even once, and this training was conducted as education for staff expertise while reviewing the 8th council and preparing for the 9th council.

In this workshop, a lecturer was invited to give a lecture on the theme of ‘Activation of Intergenerational Communication,’ and a heated discussion was held between the council secretariat staff and attending council members on topics such as ‘Reflections and Improvements of the 8th Council.’

In particular, they visited Jeju 4·3 Peace Park to take time to reconsider the May 18 Democratic Movement, and toured Jeju Dongmun Market to explore ways to revitalize Yangdong Market, a traditional market with a 100-year history in our region.

After the training, council members and staff unanimously agreed to make greater efforts in the 9th council to revitalize initiatives that were insufficient in the 8th council.

Meanwhile, on the first day of the training, Seo Dae-seok, Mayor of Seo-gu, and Kim Tae-young, Chairman of the Seo-gu Council, visited to encourage the staff.
