Seoul Youth Center Drives Youth Employment Rate in Gangbuk-gu... Commendation from Minister of Employment and Labor

Seoul Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Lee Soon-hee) Seoul Youth Center Gangbuk (Center Director Kwon Hye-jin) received the 'Minister of Employment and Labor Commendation' at the 2023 Employment and Labor Administration Commendation Ceremony held at the Seoul Northern Employment and Labor Office on the 29th of last month.

Seoul Youth Center Gangbuk, which is operated under consignment by Kwangwoon University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, opened in April 2022 and provides employment and startup education, professional counseling, and cultural activities for youth.

Last year, the center formed the 'Youth Challenge Support Project' team and was selected for the Ministry of Employment and Labor's public project, operating career exploration and employment competency enhancement programs targeting youth who had given up on job seeking or were socially isolated. During the project period from April to December, 78 youths participated, and among them, 33 succeeded in finding employment or participating in vocational training.

In particular, by collaborating with the Startup Support Center to support startups and operating an innovative company exploration program, the center provided youth with opportunities to communicate with active entrepreneurs and broaden their horizons, resulting in positive effects leading to active job seeking activities.

Lee Soon-hee, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, stated, “We will continue to discover and promote effective support policies and provide various educational opportunities so that the youth of Gangbuk-gu can achieve their dreams and envision a bright future.”
