On the 7th, Samsung dispatched about 150 new employees undergoing training after joining the company to the Jamboree site to assist volunteers with environmental cleanup activities such as waste sorting. The purpose is to instill Samsung’s ‘Together’ vision, which emphasizes sharing with society and growing together as the path to becoming the world’s best, before learning job tasks.

They are also operating an ‘Open Campus’ factory tour program for students participating in the Jamboree. Samsung Electronics offers tours of its semiconductor plants in Pyeongtaek or Hwaseong and the Samsung Innovation Museum (SIM) in Suwon, allowing global future talents to experience Korea’s advanced IT industry. Approximately 550 scouts participate in this program daily.

Hyundai Motor Company is preparing a tour of its commercial vehicle production base at the Jeonju plant. Students will be supported to visit production lines for electric and hydrogen buses.
