Yangcheon-gu 'Youth Growth Academy' Operation

Yangcheon-gu Operates ‘Youth Growth Academy’ to Strengthen Youth Competencies

Competency enhancement education for all local youth from July to September

A total of 5 sessions of basic competency strengthening programs including finance, everyday law, and company life know-how

Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced that it will expand the operation of the competency enhancement education program ‘Youth Growth Academy,’ which was previously conducted for members of the youth participation organization ‘Youth Network,’ to allow any local youth to attend starting next month.

The ‘Youth Growth Academy’ is an educational program that not only provides know-how on policy proposal to discover youth-centered policies but also strengthens essential competencies for young adults who are new to society, such as everyday law, financial management, and interpersonal relationship skills.

Since April, the district has been operating special lectures on policy proposals for about 30 members of the ‘Yangcheon Youth Network,’ a youth participation policy discovery group, at the Yangcheon Youth Job Cafe (208 Deungchon-ro). Starting in July, as the social basic competency strengthening program officially begins, the target audience has been expanded to local youth residents aged 19 to 39 to help more local youth with self-development.

The expanded Youth Growth Academy will provide practical life knowledge useful for youth in daily life through a total of 5 sessions from July to September, with topics including ▲Employment competency enhancement skills (July 19), ▲Improving financial literacy and rational consumption (August 9), ▲Understanding everyday law for young adults (August 23), ▲Youth preparation for changes in future society (September 6), and ▲Know-how for wise company life (September 20).

Each lecture recruits 30 participants, and youth who wish to attend can apply in advance through a Google Form. Detailed information about the Youth Growth Academy and other youth policies of Yangcheon-gu can be found on the youth project bulletin board on the district office website.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “We are expanding the operation of the ‘Youth Growth Academy’ to support the progressive future of local youth, who are the strong backbone of Yangcheon.” He added, “We will continue to implement practical youth policies that reflect the voices of young people to create a city where youth can feel proud.”
