Jeon Seong-su, Mayor of Seocho-gu: “Through the ‘Employment Competency Enhancement Education,’ we hope students actively explore their career paths and acquire practical competitiveness”

Seocho-gu (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) conducted the ‘Visiting Employment Competency Enhancement Education’ on the 11th and 12th for students of two specialized high schools in the area (Seocho Culture and Arts Information School, Seoul Electronic High School) to lay the foundation for successful employment.

The ‘Employment Competency Enhancement Education,’ implemented reflecting the demands of specialized high school students in the region, is a project that provides customized employment success strategies to enhance the practical employment competitiveness of youth and enable students to design their own career paths.

To achieve practical employment results, the district conducted a demand survey at the beginning of the semester regarding the timing and preferred programs needed by students. Based on this, the district continuously consulted with schools to select programs that allow students to design their career paths independently and lead to portfolio competitions, self-introduction letter contests, and other activities held within the schools.

First, on the 11th, a special lecture on ‘Image Making for Successful Interviews and How to Create My Own Portfolio’ was held for 185 students of Seocho Culture and Arts Information School.

Additionally, through prior student registration, ‘Portfolio Consulting’ was conducted to provide customized information so that students could address their weaknesses and learn practical employment strategies.

Kim OO, a student from the Media Content Department, said, “I had many concerns about choosing between further education and employment, but the consulting helped me set a direction and understand what I should do immediately, which was very helpful. I will continue to gain diverse experiences and nurture my dream of becoming a young entrepreneur.”

On the 12th, a lecture on ‘Labor Law and Job Application Documents & Interview Preparation’ was held for 81 second- and third-year students of Seoul Electronic High School. The lecture covered essential topics to know before employment, including ▲how to properly write a labor contract and ▲key points of labor laws. Additionally, a special lecture on ‘How to Write Job Applications and Self-Introduction Letters’ was provided to assist with actual employment preparation.

Along with this, the district hires one ‘Seoul New Deal Job Vocational High School Employment Support Officer’ per school to provide customized employment support. These officers reside at the schools and actively support students by offering employment counseling, consulting, and job placement services to improve their practical employment capabilities. Furthermore, after individual portfolio creation through employment special lectures and consulting, continuous feedback is provided to students through the employment support officers.

Since January, the district has conducted 383 employment counseling and placement cases, discovered 65 employment opportunities, provided 277 employment information sessions, held 76 interview clinics and accompaniment sessions, produced about 89 materials, and supported 46 field training monitoring and events, helping a total of 18 students secure employment so far.

Jeon Seong-su, Mayor of Seocho-gu, stated, “Through the ‘Visiting Specialized High School Employment Competency Enhancement Education,’ which serves as a stepping stone for employment success, we hope students actively explore their career paths and acquire practical competitiveness. We will continue to actively collect opinions from students and schools to operate employment education programs and provide ongoing support.”
