Providing Various Benefits Such as Practical Training and Mentoring

Lotte Mart is operating the 'Youth Distribution Experience Academy' in collaboration with the Ministry of Employment and Labor and Sangmyung University.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lotte Mart announced on the 31st that it will operate the ‘Youth Distribution Experience Academy’ in collaboration with the Ministry of Employment and Labor and Sangmyung University.

The Youth Distribution Experience Academy was planned for young people who dream of working in the distribution industry but find it difficult to gain practical experience, as the recent recruitment market trend has shifted to rolling recruitment or hiring experienced workers. Applications for the program will be accepted from the 1st to the 11th of next month through a separate online application page. University students and graduates in the Seoul and Cheonan areas, as well as young job seekers interested in distribution roles, are all eligible to apply. A total of 100 young job seekers will be selected through a first-round document screening and a second-round interview.

Selected participants will receive various training free of charge for a total of four months from September to December, including practical training and mentoring conducted by current Lotte Mart employees. Starting with sales management training that new Lotte Mart employees actually receive, practitioners will directly conduct job lectures and mentoring. Additionally, team projects related to the distribution industry will be assigned, and outstanding teams will be given a separate opportunity to tour the Lotte Mart logistics center.

A Lotte Mart official said, “This project is significant in that it can create a virtuous cycle that contributes to job creation by providing young people with distribution know-how and practical experience opportunities,” and added, “Since this program is designed not only to provide experience in distribution roles but also to offer practical help to young people struggling with employment, we ask for your great interest.”
