[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] POSCO Engineering & Construction announced on the 25th that it held a "Construction Sector Employment Camp" for young adults preparing for independence who have left child welfare facilities, in collaboration with the POSCO 1% Sharing Foundation and the Korea Child Welfare Association.

The construction sector employment camp is part of the POSCO 1% Sharing Foundation's support project for young adults preparing for independence called "Do Dream." POSCO Engineering & Construction has been conducting this program since last year to help these young adults secure stable employment.

The recent Do Dream "Construction Sector Employment Camp," held over two days starting on the 21st in Busan, was attended by 20 young adults preparing for independence from the region. Participants visited "Haeundae LCT The Sharp," constructed by POSCO Engineering & Construction, to understand the main construction methods and processes of high-rise buildings, and toured the "The Sharp Oncheon Heritage" construction site, experiencing on-site job duties firsthand.

POSCO Engineering & Construction's on-site staff shared know-how for successful employment in the construction industry and conducted construction employment mentoring. Additionally, a leadership capacity-building lecture by an invited employment expert encouraged the youth's independence and confidence in securing jobs.

As part of the Do Dream project, POSCO Engineering & Construction is also running the Dream House program, which supports the creation of comfortable and safe living spaces for young adults preparing for independence. The program provides assistance with renovations such as wallpapering, flooring, and sanitary facilities, as well as the purchase of furniture and home appliances necessary for daily life, helping the youth prepare for their future in a better environment.
