LG Electronics Employees Visit High Schools in Gyeongnam to Conduct Career Mentoring

Introduction to Tasks and Product·Service Activities by Sector

From the 10th to the 13th, LG Electronics employees visited three high schools in the Gyeongnam region to conduct career mentoring education titled "Introducing My Job."

Twenty-eight LG Electronics employees participated in the mentoring through a pre-registration process last month. After dividing into groups, they visited three schools: ▲Geoje Yeoncho High School ▲Masan Naeseo Girls' High School ▲Changwon Yongho High School, providing career mentoring to 380 enrolled students. They introduced students to various fields such as sales and marketing, research and development (R&D), and related product and service activities.

The students spent time asking and answering questions related to their future career plans through explanations of employee job roles. LG Electronics employees responded to questions at the students' level, focusing on actual job activities such as washing machine and air conditioner product development and customer service management. For students aspiring to become software developers, data engineering, which efficiently manages and processes large-scale data, was introduced.

Jo Young-han, a senior at LG Electronics working in washing machine R&D, said, "It was a meaningful time to help young people who are contemplating their career paths and nurturing their dreams based on company job activities and experiences," adding, "It especially served as an opportunity to increase my pride in my job and role."

Since 2021, LG Electronics has been conducting online and offline career mentoring for elementary, middle, and high school students in Korea to enhance youth career exploration opportunities. Up to last year, about 1,000 young people have received LG Electronics career mentoring education. Approximately 130 LG Electronics employees have participated in the career mentoring education.

In the second half of the year, LG Electronics plans to visit high schools near its business sites in Incheon and Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, to provide career mentoring. The company explains that by introducing positive customer experiences such as LG Electronics' customer value innovation and spirit of challenge to the future generation of youth, it can enhance its corporate image.

Meanwhile, LG Electronics is fulfilling its corporate social responsibility by carrying out various activities to address educational inequality among youth. Last month, the Life’s Good volunteer group, composed of LG Electronics employees, visited the Amsa Rehabilitation Center of the Seoul Social Welfare Society to provide education on the use of home appliances for children and youth with disabilities.
