[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] Namwon City, Jeonbuk, will continue to support job opportunities for local university students on summer break next month, following this month.

According to the city on the 27th, the university student job project was established to help local university students cover tuition fees and to provide opportunities to broaden their understanding of their hometown Namwon and the city administration through public service experience.

Since its launch during the 2017 winter break, this project has received great support from both students and their parents, leading to an increase in the number of selected participants each year.

During the winter break from January to February this year, 96 university students were selected and placed in 22 workplaces to carry out the job project, and currently, 65 university students are gaining diverse work experience at 21 workplaces.

Starting from the 1st of next month, 65 newly selected and placed university students will be assigned to 21 workplaces, assisting in the operation of public facilities under Namwon City such as the Yocheon aquatic play facility, Baekdudaegan Ecological Education Center, and Mulbanggae Water Park, as well as supporting public administrative tasks at the city hall and township/district administrative welfare centers.

A city official stated, “We hope that the university student job project will resolve the difficulties faced by university students who find it hard to secure short-term jobs when returning to their hometown during breaks, and that it will greatly help strengthen employment capabilities and career choices based on diverse practical experiences.”
