Students participating in the Gyeonggi Youth Ladder Program are receiving explanations from local officials.

A total of 146 university students who participated in the 'Gyeonggi Youth Ladder Program' (SadariZ), one of Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon's key projects, recently returned after completing 3 to 4 weeks of training at four universities in the United States and Australia.

The Gyeonggi Youth Ladder Program is a flagship youth policy of Governor Kim Dong-yeon's 8th term aimed at providing 'more equitable opportunities' to young people. It supports overseas university training experiences to help local youth reduce social disparities and explore diverse career paths.

The participating youths attended four major universities for 3 to 4 weeks each: 47 students at the University at Buffalo, USA, from July 3 to 28; 39 students at the University of Washington, USA, from July 10 to 28; 30 students at the University of Sydney, Australia, from July 10 to 28; and 30 students at the University of Michigan, USA, from July 10 to August 4. Each university program consisted of language classes in the mornings and various activities such as local cultural experiences in the afternoons.

Meanwhile, 44 participants of the Youth Ladder Program at Fudan University in China, who are undergoing training from July 31 to August 25, departed on July 31. With the completion of the Fudan University training, this year’s overseas training schedule for the Youth Ladder Program will conclude. Gyeonggi Province plans to hold a comprehensive performance presentation meeting to discuss the outcomes and improvement plans for the Youth Ladder Program (SadariZ) with the youth participants once the training schedule is completed.
