[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 28th that it recently opened its second Korea-Vietnam Joint Care Center in Haiphong City, Vietnam.

The center is a Korea-Vietnam multicultural family integrated care center that supports the settlement and independence of women who returned to Vietnam after failed marriage migration and their children. The first center, opened in 2018 in Can Tho City in southern Vietnam, has become a place for regional cultural exchange, attracting more than 20,000 visitors annually, the company said.

The company built this center to address the social issue of the disintegration of multicultural families, which has been steadily emerging as a problem. It is reported that many people are excluded from local welfare policies due to improper handling of divorce and nationality issues.

The center will operate with functions including a family legal counseling office that provides free consultations by identifying victim cases, employment and entrepreneurship education linked with partner organizations, a children's library, and survey and research capabilities. Hyundai Motor supported a budget of 2.8 billion KRW for the establishment and operation of the two local centers. In cooperation with the International Health and Medical Foundation, it will also continue to provide health management and medical expense support.

At the completion ceremony of Hyundai Jump School Vietnam 2nd term and the launch ceremony of the 3rd term held on the 27th, officials and participating students are taking a commemorative photo.

In addition, on the 27th, a graduation ceremony for the 2nd class and a launch ceremony for the 3rd class of Hyundai Jump School Vietnam were held in Hanoi. Hyundai Jump School Vietnam is a social contribution program for nurturing future talents by selecting university student mentors in the Hanoi area to support education for underprivileged youth and providing mentoring and scholarships from Hyundai Motor employees to the selected university student mentors. It started in Korea in 2013 and was established in Vietnam in 2020.

The 2nd class graduates recently volunteered for education for 4 hours a week over 10 months, targeting youth at local elementary and middle schools and child welfare facilities. The 100 volunteers of the 3rd class will be dispatched to local learning centers to provide academic guidance and emotional support volunteer activities. Volunteers receive benefits such as scholarships, mentoring, and global exchange opportunities. At the event, Park Hang-seo, head coach of the Vietnam national football team, attended and delivered words of encouragement and support messages.
