[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) will hold the 2nd Mapo Elementary Career Expo for students of three elementary schools in the area starting from the 21st.

Now in its second year, this expo is hosted by Mapo-gu and organized by the Mapo Career and Job Experience Support Center.

The career expo, which introduces the diversity of the professional world and allows students to explore careers through hands-on experiences, will begin on the 21st at Sangam Elementary School, followed by Seongwon Elementary School on the 28th, and Jungdong Elementary School on November 28th, with 730 students from grades 3 to 6 participating.

To increase interest among elementary students who are still less engaged in career exploration and to provide accurate career guidance, the expo will offer job preference types through aptitude tests for each student, enabling them to experience careers suited to themselves.

Career experiences will be conducted across 20 booths under 8 themes: ▲Future 4th Industrial Revolution ▲Environmental Energy ▲Culture and Arts ▲Ecological Science ▲Medical Welfare ▲Media and Journalism ▲Sports ▲Entrepreneurship and Creation.

In particular, jobs suited to the 4th Industrial Revolution era such as robot developers and artificial intelligence developers, as well as environmental sector jobs like recycling designers and upcycling developers, will be introduced to provide students with opportunities to experience promising future careers.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “Through this elementary career expo, we hope that students who are just beginning their career exploration will find careers that suit them through diverse career experiences,” and added, “We will continue to provide more varied career and job experience opportunities to actively support the career exploration of future generations.”

The Mapo Career and Job Experience Support Center is a facility that supports sustainable career education for youth, offering various programs for youth career development such as on-site job experiences, free semester programs, and career and academic counseling.
