[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gangwon Province, which is set to launch as a special autonomous province in June, will conduct "economic capacity-building" training to enhance the economic understanding of provincial government employees.
Gangwon Province announced on the 10th that "starting from the 11th, we will hold the 'Sandwich Economic Study,' an economic capacity-building training, during lunchtime for provincial government employees."
The economic study sessions will be held on the second Wednesday of every month during lunch, in a relaxed atmosphere where participants can enjoy a simple meal (sandwich and beverage) while listening to economic lectures and engaging in Q&A.
The first session will be led by Baek Kwang-yeop, editorial writer of the Korea Economic Daily, under the theme "Economic Geocentrism and Cutting Losses." The lecture includes content emphasizing the bold shift of the economy towards a market- and enterprise-centered approach as the source of growth and jobs.
In addition to the 'Sandwich Economic Study,' the province plans to operate economic special lectures by the Bank of Korea Gangwon Headquarters and an economic camp for university students in cooperation with related organizations to enhance the economic literacy of residents and expand communication with them.
